Hi everyone! I would like to simulate a conveyor on solidwoks. I have 2 steel cylinders (pulley) and a rubber tappis that serves as a belt (pulley - belt connection). In order to simulate the displacement of a part by a motion analysis, I need to insert a motor (1 cylinder) with trajectory constraint (belt). however, the engine menu with trajectory constraint is locked when I click on motor, even though CIRCULAR MOTOR and LINEAR MOTOR remain accessible. PLEASE HELP ME.
Hello
Beforehand, you need to create a trajectory constraint in your assembly.
You have to define a trajectory with a sketch for example and then you do Constraint / Advanced Constraint / Trajectory constraint where you select a point of the object to be moved and the trajectory + some possible settings.
When you go to Motion to make your engine, you will have the possibility to have an engine with trajectory constraint!
