Dynamic simulation of parallelogram mechanism

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone

I am new to the inventor simulation environment. I need your kind help to solve my problem. I have a double parallelogram mechanism intended to be used in pick and place mechanism. it is to be used to transport the end effector placed between and mounted to the two couplers of the parallelogram mechanism. I want check if the strength of the links is sufficient based on their sizes, and secondly I want estimate the torque required to run the mechanism. attached is the mechanism assembly

Thank you

Then what is Post #74?  A mistake?

What about Post #73?

@TheCADWhisperer Post #73 and #74  were made based on your directives in post #72

Hi @TheCADWhisperer please can you proceed with our simulation process?

Thank you

Hello @Anonymous there are quite a few posts going through this thread. Typically the forum is used to help people get unstuck not provide tutorial training, but @TheCADWhisperer has been generous enough to supply a good start.

Some of the commands and modeling techniques should be mastered prior to attempting dynamic simulation as it is cumbersome and requires expert knowledge within Inventor.

Have you gone through the built in tutorials yet? Some of the questions asked previously will be covered there. 

It would be helpful for others to contribute if you can summarize where you're at, attach your most current model with Pack & Go, and restate your goal.
