What kind of mates did you use between your components? What kind of contacts did you use? I made a four bar link assy and the links don't always rotate, especially if I add gravity.

Hi Vince this is good. I wondered what the max value of the torque is - I'm assuming there's no frictional resistance or compression resistance on the tops of the piston, and the motor is only accelerating the piston and link masses back and forth and perhaps they're counterbalanced by the weights quite well. Does it add up to a hand calculation? Just wondering. Thanks.

Hey Modelled a 4 cylinder engine and doing a displacement and velocity Plot through Motion analysis. Hoping you could assist me with the results. Is it Normal to get 160x 10^3 m/sec as velocity and 200x 10^3 m displacement on the pistons?

how to get torque plot if i apply force on the face of the piston?

Good day, i have a problem regarding about the import motion load. I have a shaft with a flywheel to rotate about 10 rpm in 30 s. The motion analysis runs smoothly, however, when i tried to import the loads into static to see the deflection and inputted bearing fixture (rigid) onto the split lines i had created, the transferred remote load appeared to be malfunctioned, and solid work gave out message saying that " One is invalid". I had turned off the inertia relief and it still didint run smoothly with fixture on and no change in remote loads. Sadly, I tried test with Bearing Fixture, Roller/Slider Fixture, Cylindrical fixtures to mimic the bearing support during rotational motion, all failed and deformed drastically. May i know how to handle the remote load definition imported from the motion load when we had inputted the fixture or how i should input my fixture correctly? Thankyou.

ive done step by step but my geometry does not turn. it doesnt show any response but the time is running

how to change initial position of parts in assembly for motion analysis?
when we move from model tab to motion study tab. Motion study take its initial position from model. if we want to change initial position of part in assembly. the motion study does not accept new initial position... how can we change initial position after one calculation?
