I have a Top Assembly with a Sub-Assembly inside of it. I am
trying to create a 'Motion Study' (within the Top Assembly), of
components in the Sub-Assembly (which has been set to 'Flexible').
I am unable to modify the existing mates of components in the Sub,
in fact I receive an error 'a flexible assembly cannot be edited in
place'. Surely there is a way to animate your Sub within your Top!
I am new to SW (and Motion Study animations), any help greatly
appreciated!
Thank you!
ps: I've got it to work only if I add, say, 2 mates for a comp. in the Sub and let one float - then add the final (moveable) mate in the Top. But is the a way to keep all mates in the Sub and get it to work?
thanks again,

In order to have a sub assembly working, you need to make sure that components are moving the way you need them in Top level assembly. If all movements of the part (which you want to move in Top level assembly) are restricted in the sub level, then it will behave same in Top level too. So in order to make it move, make sure it moves in the sub assy.
