Hi all,
I have created a motion study of simply system. If i play the motion analysis at the initial stage the solid contacts fails, and after some tine its working fine.
The expected result is the part will move, which makes the hook to move up and it gets lock.
I have attached the file also, IS there any thing i m doing wrong, kindly suggest.
Regards,
Micheal Johnson
Hello Micheal...
There are a number of things that need to be addressed.
Needs to become more like this:
1. The fact that one of the animations worked is, I think, an error. The part as designed should not have allowed the catch to go over the post since the line of action would tend to force the latch further downwards. You need to reshape the exterior. The job I did above is pretty inelegant, but it did work in the simulation.
2. The linear motor blows the parts through each other because it is not actually a motor, but a modeling tool that just says go this direction at this velocity.
3. You have a lot of redundancies. The mates that we learn to apply in SolidWorks assemblies overconstrain the assembly with respect to Motion. It is a big subject that would be hard to explain here, but for example instead of concentric mating two cylinders, you should be concentric mating a cylinder to a point and then a coincident plane to plane for instance. There are a number of ways but you want to see 0 redundancies.
4. Limit Mates are not acceptable (as far as my experience suggests) in Motion. You have to find a way around it. One way is to apply contacts.
Motion is pretty challenging...good luck!
Unfortunately, my experience with Basic Motion and, especially, with Motion Analysis is quite bad, specially when you try to use solid contact.
Good luck!
