How to adaptive constraint works

[Anonymous]

Can somebody please help me to do an adaptive constraints works, I have attached my file please take a look and let me know what I have missed.

Hello;

Here are your modified files. You need to make the extrusion block adaptive in the Spring file. In the assembly the first part must be grounded. And unconstrained sketch in the Spring file is a bad practice too.

Anyway, the files are attached for you to look at.

Cheers,

Igor.

I messed around with this assembly and had no issues getting the spring to flex if I changed the Mate distance between the two end parts using the parameter value.  The thing that I could never get to work was using Drive on the mate.  Seeing that you posted your solution, I was anxious to try yours by driving the mate but I still get a failure.  No problem with the parameter method, as I did with mine, but the drive function does not work.

My question, could you drive the Mate constrain to flex the spring on your installation?

Hi John;

In the assembly I have posted - make Part2 adaptive. In the Drive constrain DB expand the box and select Drive Adaptivity. I have changed the initial offset to 100mm and the final one - to 175mm. But I did it just for my convenience. It shouldn't be matter.

Best Regards,

Igor.

Hi,

Thank you for your valuable time to consider my question, really appreciate.

But I had a try with the file which you modified and still getting another error message ( Cannot solve at (or near) this point. Check drive parameters and adaptivity settings ) while driving, I dont know why facing this much of difficulty to do such a beginner level thing 😞 .

In my reply to John I have answered that question. Please have a look.

Cheers,

Igor.
