Hello!
I'm having a problem that's driving me crazy! I've made an assambly containing a floor, a forklift and a pallet. I'm trying to lift the pallet using contact, friction and gravity. I'm applying all the contrains and when I'm going to calculate the motion solidworks just stops working and I have to start all over again. I have tried different assamblys and it's the same problem.
Please help me locate the problem!

Hello Jim!
Thank you for taking the time to look at this problem. I have locate the problem and it was the lifting fork for some reason. I have no idea what was the problem but when I created a new it started to work.
I was trying to create an animation using contact and gravity. This because we want to control the models motors using labview programming to test our logisticplanning program. The model is pretty simple and contains a forklift chassi and the lifting fork. The two are mated with coincident phases so the only movement possible are up and down. I havn't used any mates to stop the liftingfork from going to far up or down, should I use this (max min distance)?
The only type of motionstudy I can use for this i motion analysis couse of the labview integration. And I use liner motors to move the forks.
I have created a new thread where I'm going to post all of my problems and I hope you have the time to look at that one! It would be very helpful!
Thank you again!

I would need a lot more information to help you solve this. Are you trying to create an analysis or an animation? What constraints are applied? What type of motion study are you using? What motion driver are you using to move the forks?
The biggest cause of having the solution fail is conflicts where two things are defined such that they both cannot happen at the same time, kind of like an overdefined sketch.
If you upload the files, I'd be happy to take a look at it.
