spring animation (if v20)

[Dario-CRC]

hello to everyone, it's the first time I've been writing, but I've been reading for so long.
I am a mechanical engineering student and have been using solid edge for some years. I just came across animations within the program itself ( Motion option). I have to say that I am becoming crazy:biggrin:, I am now facing a problem. I have to animate a spring, but while inserting all the data related to animation the spring does not compress and extend, but it does up and down. Is there a way to solve my problem? or does the program not allow it? thanks to all for possible answers

Hello and welcome.
if I don't erro we have already discussed it (just springs).
you should look for on the solid edge forum and you will surely find (use spring, motion)
Hi.

 

[cacciatorino]

test using the "adjustable part" command in assembly environment, but it's just a suggestion. I've never made such attempts.

Bye.

 

[Dario-CRC]

I have already read the previous discussion, only that it is not explained well. I also have already made an adjustable part change. modifying some data I can actually compress or extend the spring, but once the spring changes, it remains compressed or extended. So I think that's just a change of the part that has nothing to do with the motion environment.

Whereas it is three days that I fight with these blessed animations on solid edge, opening and closing windows I found the internet address of a specific program for solid edge, to carry out animations. ( http://www.design-simulation.com/ddm/index.php ) I downloaded the free version, but I don't understand why I don't open the program. says: dynamic designer motion is currently used for the solid edge assembly motion environment. booh... enlighten me..know anything more about this program or extension of solid edge?

I don't know how to help you, I've always preferred visualnastran 4d at solid edge motion.
By the way, I see that they see wm 2d, brother 2d of vn4d.
Maybe the trial version is limited!
What license do you have? Maybe you have an educational? I'm shooting because I don't understand.
It almost seems that the program is already running.
or the program is launched by solid edge, there will be a button like in vn4d.

 

[Dario-CRC]

I honestly don't understand either. I'm going crazy because I have to do the animation of all the suspension cinematism that I designed only that I can't bind the wheel hub to the two suspension braces (lower and higher) and at the same time let it be free to move through snodes spherical at the end. of other rods with the ends of the spherical knots I can not connect them to other elements. seems almost with you can not create two relationships (then bond to a piece and possibility of movement through snod0) at the same time.

p.s. I own the version with academically licensed.
x gerod: but visual nastran 4d can you interface with solid edge? import iges files? or something?

 

[gerod]

vn4d is interfaceable directly with if.
if you change something in if he updates automatically (clicking a button)
Alternatively, you can always import into other formats.
eye that the bodies are rigid, the springs cannot be deformed

 

[Dario-CRC]

so it is not possible a hypothetical animation of a spring?

 

[zeigs]

I had no way to verify, but in my opinion yes, just parameterize the spring as an adjustable part, as it had already been described in another discussion: the parameter is the length of the spring, which must be linked to the other parts, and fixes the number of turns. after animated the axieme you should see the spring adapt by hand

Hi, it's the first time for me.

you can do well with solid edge

you must first create the spring in an adjustable part and define the length as adjustable

when you insert it into a set and asks for length not to give it a numerical value but use the measuring button and define the distance between the two elements that the spring must cover.

subsequently binds the spring but only to one of the two elements

when moving one of the two elements the spring stretches and follows it.

I hope I've been helpful
