Thanks, Shoaib!
how did u make the turret of the tank to rotate to and fro between a particular angle range?
Cosine motor
@@CADPLMGuy thank u❣
The slot follower has to be one of the most difficult mechanism connections to utilize and animate. For me, the vehicle always ends up facing the wrong direction. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. It may run correctly once then the second time regenerate facing the opposite direction. Often the mechanism operates fine when dragging the component through the path but when running a mechanism analysis it will fail or disconnect. Over the years, this has been the most difficult connection to get working correctly. It also seems like when the path is a closed loop these problems become far more pronounced.
Are you using a Snapshot to define the starting position of your analysis?
@@CADPLMGuy Sometimes. I have done these with and without a snapshot.
@@chrismerani5330 When using a slot-follower connection, always use a Snapshot or Initial Condition to define the starting point of the analysis.
@@CADPLMGuy as I stated, this doesn't have any effect on the mechanism. It does help to ensure the timing of the mechanism is correct but has no bearing on the connection disconnecting itself when attempting to run an analysis. As I mentioned, you can drag the object thru the path without issue. I have run into this issue several times before and had a model I uploaded to the creo user forum last year. Other users experienced the same issue.
@@chrismerani5330 Not knowing your models, I cannot tell what else might be going wrong. As I explain in my video on General connections, a Slot Follower connection usually needs to be used in conjunction with other connections, especially General, to prevent tipping or flipping.
