Problem direction of rotation motor movement study

Hello, I'm trying for the first time the motion study module but it starts very badly: indeed first thing I create a motor and whatever I do it systematically turns clockwise while I want the counterclockwise.

I tried to click on the change of direction icon, the red arrow reverses but the direction of rotation when I start the movement. I tried a negative speed but impossible the software asks for a positive value, same to define a travel angle. I then recreated two extremely simple parts and an assembly and always the same, I also tried the change of the number of frames per second still nothing.

FYI I use SW 2024 SP5.0

Hello be_102,
I just found this on the web=>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNjf5leUf1E

Maybe it can aider...@ you+.
AR.

Thank you I found thanks to that.
Having never been trained on this module, I had selected my shaft in " Motor Location" and " Motor Steering" and my part to rotate in " Component to be moved in relation to ".

The correct method was to select my part to rotate in " Motor Location" and " Motor Steering" and nothing in " Component to Move Relative To ".
