"Contact set" ignored in Dynamic Simulation

[sakkie.coetzee]

Hi, I'm running Inventor 2020 and ran into this problem.

I "build" a drop feed cam assembly with guides, and selected "Contact Set" to make sure the parts make contact.

In all modes everything works perfect.  The production part "flows" through the system no problem, being pushed by the cam and guided by the guide.

When running a "Dynamic Simulation" with gravity on, the production part falls straight through the cam, and all other guides too.   

What am I missing please.....

2D or 3D Contact Joint.

Attach your assembly here.

Thanks for the responds,

I've attached the assembly and two parts.  Looks like I can only attach 3 items.

1. Put the entire project into a folder.

2. Right click on the folder and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder.

3. Attach the resulting *.zip file here.

Sketch1 in Cup.ipt is not fully defined - missed the Origin Center Point.

Sketches in Cup Feed Cam are not fully defined and also extraneous Work Axis and Work Plane.

Now let me go look at the assembly...

Missing several part files.

😅....of course.  There you go.

I have to add.  I haven't before worked on anything even closely resembling Inventor, and I've had it for less than a week.  Still learning.  My believe is, if you want to learn, PLAY.

Video to follow in a few minutes when it is done compiling.
