Looking for ideas on how to model something - there must be an easy way to do this.
I'm designing a stacker that has a plate moved by a ballscrew. I'm buying a bellows-type ballscrew cover to prevent contamination:
(Sort of like this - google Image search failed me)
At any rate - I've mocked up the representation in SolidWorks attached with the hope that when I put this in my assembly and make it Flexible, the bellows will update accordingly. Not so. I "get" why, but I'm not sure what to do as a simple workaround to make what I'm trying to do work.
Any ideas?
Here is what I have done in the mean time - just modeled it as a part, with different configurations. A bit cumbersome because it doesn't update automatically with wherever the carriage is, but it is what I usually do with cabletrack anyway.
