B. Ludin Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Is there a type of constraint that allows the simulation of gears in mechanism mode? I'm not looking for a full physical simulation with interlocking teeth. A constraint that defines the relative rotation (if A turns by x degrees, B turns by +/-f * x degrees) or roll/shift (if A turns by x degrees, B shifts by y mm) would be sufficient. Adding some kind of of backlash factor would be a nice topping. Edited July 11, 2022 by B. Ludin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Ludin Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 I guess, the silence means: no, it's not possible (in which case I would file an ER). Or am I overlooking the obivous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertrand Kim Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Hi, 4 minutes ago, B. Ludin said: I guess, the silence means: no, it's not possible Maybe it is not. I've seen this motion constraint in Inventor, not IronCad. 1. It looks like I can't use parameters in position tap for change the gear's angle. 2. I only possible to control Two gear's angle using parameter like the picture, But if I want using parameters, they must are locked and it means can not rotate in mechanism mode. hmm...

IronKevin Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 We might get something like this in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
