[solved] Kinematic movement
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 11:03 pm
Hello all,
I'm working on a project that involves a couple of moving parts that I need to test, and I've not worked with the kinematic side very much. I've attached the file that I'm working with...I'm trying to get the movements figured out before polishing up the design.
I've got the movement that I want from the handle (25*rotation from the base), but I'm looking to keep p1 and p2 (named elements) in alignment along the length of the base; basically keeping the base and rod in alignment.
Some guidance in getting this to work out would be appreciated. I'm sure that I'm either just missing an element, or inadvertently over-constraining the model.
Thanks!
