flexible subassembly is not flexible

Mine Same Dec 12, 2014 7:35 PM

Hi,

I know questions like this have been asked, and I read few of them, but can't figure it out nevertheless.

I attach the assebly file for your kind inspection, and suggestion, being at the very beginning of the learning, I'd greatly appreciate detailed explanation, please.

The manichino_01 is the intended component to be flexible, so that I can move arms, etc.

Thank you.

Please upload all the part files and both sub-assembly.

BTW have you set the sub-assembly to flexible by right/left clicking on it, select component properties and then set flexible under solve as.

  Thank you, and sorry for the missing files - like said I'm at the very beginning ... hope this time I'm doing it right.
  
  Yes I have set flexible under solve as.

    The files are OK this time. And your assembly is set as flexible. Please use the mates to define the position of that assembly and then you would be able to move around the parts of that body.

      Thank you.
      
      I mated the foot of the dummy, and the bottom of the object, and now I can move the dummy; but when I move i.e. the forearm, other parts of the body move, will you kindly suggest what to fix so that the dummy parts stay indipendent, thank you.

        Please add more mates so that body is fixed in the position. Then you can move the body parts independently.

        Thanks.
        
        I wish there was a way not to mate (tie) the two components, as by adding mates it does restrict the dummy's flexibility, but I guess that is a limit.

        You may try using limit distance mates.
