Hello
Solidworks 2012
I am trying to constrain following a trajectory two pieces (see photo)
My problem is that I would like to do this with a cylindrical piece and there, I can't find the solution
Do you have a tip?

Hello
I don't really see which part is to be constrained with which, but is a constraint between a plane and a point sufficient? All you have to do is create a point on one of them and then constrain 2 sides in coincident.
Otherwise, a movement study will be required.
I didn't mean "a plane and a point" but "an edge and a point" and by the way it can also be an edge and an axis or an edge and a vertex.
The part to be constrained is in red and fixed in grey
The trajectory is bean-shaped

I already have this style of repetition for the LINKOA challenge (see example attached)
I grant it, it's not great.
The idea is to create a "trajectory" part with the repetition that goes well (there are all the necessary repetition tools in the part functions unlike the rather limited assembly repetition functions)
Insert this part into your assembly and make a function-driven repeat.
Remember to hide your "trajectory" part and exclude it from the BOM in your assembly

Hello
The solution of the "Trajectory" type constraint can work. But it will not be possible to limit the deflection in the "bean" shape and the constraints to be added to orient the part may not be easy to find without over-constraining the assembly.
Why not go through an advanced "AngleLimit" constraint with the maximum and the minimum in angle dimensions?
It's an idea like any other!
Kind regards

This can be a solution, but I can't rotate the red piece in the bean
The principle I am trying to do:
a pivoting platform with an offset (bean) of its axis of rotation
I put an overview for visualization

If I understand correctly, the platform is in 2 bodies? The small red dot represented the axis of rotation?
One solution (but sometimes one that doesn't work for SolidWorks and causes errors) is to create:
1) a tangiance between the outer face of the red axis and the outer face of the bean
2) a limit distance between the axis (they can be displayed with T on the keyboard) of the platform and one of the axes of the end of the bean: 0 mm in mini and X in maximum (X being the stroke)
3) a coincidence between the face for the height of course!
Is it functional like this?
It should also be noted that for this type of constraint, SolidWorks sometimes responds randomly, the part being quite free, it can sometimes find itself in an opposite position instantly!
