Hi everybody. I'm writing you because i'm finding issues in making a simulation of a suspension of a scooter.
There are some short questions i'd like you to answer.
- In creating this suspension, I realized in the same file (a "part" file) different parts that at the end I wanted to edit alone (I mean I wanted to make for each part a single file). So I found an option (Add in a new part) in the feature manager that let me to do what i was looking for. Well, it did it: it created another file with a single object in it but i cannot edit as i wanted because, for example, there is not the skecth of the object itself, I just see the object and I can only add more modification but not edit the ones that created the part itself. So, is there another way of doing what i'm looking for?
- After having created the suspension (the "Part" file I said before) I wanted to simulate it. Is it impossible to use "motion analysis" in a "part" file? Do I have always to use it in an "assembly" file?
Can you help me with the simulation of this suspension-assembly? I made it by creating for each part of the "part" file I said before a part file and then taking each of them in a single assembly file.
I find difficult to simulate it because the pivot A should slide inside the loop as the reaction F that simulates the weight of the person rotates the "triangle" and compress the spring S.
In the image at the left, the elements behind the S are made to simulate the spring. I linked them to stay horizontal as the Forces rotate the triangles and compress the Spring.
3. I did this screenshot because I have another question. The links between the triangles and the brackets are hinges. Thus the surfaces between the spring and the brackets fit together. Is there a way to make the triangles and the spring central between the brackets?
I want to clarify that if I move the pivot in the loop, the suspension works fine.
When I simulate, when i calculate the simulation, nothing happens: the assembly stay still!
Can you help me?
