You can run Animation and Motion Analysis motion studies for layout sketch mechanisms you create from sketch blocks.
To run a motion study for a layout sketch:
-
Create the layout sketch mechanism, editing Mass Properties in the Block PropertyManagers as necessary.
Mass properties are used only for motion calculations in
Motion Analysis studies.
-
Create a motion study for the layout sketch.
Constraints you apply in the layout sketch appear as mates in the motion study. You cannot edit these mates.
- Add motion study elements, such as forces or motors, as necessary.
You cannot add contact between layout sketch blocks.
- Select either Motion Analysis or Animation and run the motion study.
