hi, i'm trying to make a motor of an air compressor move.

see attachment.

i set the component properties of the dynamic part to flexible, but if i click 'move component' or just try to move the

motor by moving the connecting rod or crankshaft with the mouse by left clicking and dragging, it doesn't work.

if i attach the flexible assembly to the static assembly (with mates) at only one screw point, then i can still move the flexible parts (eventhough they will rotate also outside the static part then, but it seems to be working),

but as soon as i attach it on 2 screw points, nothing is able to move anymore.

"Selected component is fully defined. It cannot be moved."

what am i doing wrong?

if i remove some of the mates between the crankshaft and the bearing this also doesn't help. it seems to need some constraints.

if i move the crankshaft bearing from the dynamic assembly to the static assembly this also doesn't work.

please help!

best,

roma
