Hello, everybody,
I have an animation using angle mate (one part spins around the other based on the angle between their planes).
Initial position is 0 deg. My intention is to move it by 1 deg backwards to 359 deg. But it goes all around 358 deg forward.
Is there option to set the direction of mate in animation?
Best regards and thanks in advance.
It's animation
here is the picture
Yes, keys are correct
This is the simplest model specialy for the purpose of studying the method. The only way I've found up to know - is to make 2 angle mates - original one, and flipped one - depending on the intended direction one is suppresed and one is unsuppressed. But it is a little bit unconvinient.
Well, now I see that the best way in this example is to put a rotary motor in axis of rotation. But still wondering on other possibilities with angle mates.
I believe that this is a limitation of using an angle mate because I don't believe you can put a negative angle. I would confirm with your reseller and get an espr.
animation or motion
can you post a picture of what the interface looks like
and have you checked that you haven't set the keys incorrectly? this is pretty common
i might also recommend starting with a really simple model that you can post and then build up to your model. that way you know if it is your method or your model or your study
