When you specify a task action to change motor, force, or torque values, you can specify the values during the action by selecting a profile, the action duration, and the post-action value.
Action profiles specify the following for the duration of the task:
- Displacement for displacement motors
- Acceleration for acceleration servo motors
- Velocity for velocity servo motors
- Velocity for originally constant speed motors
- Values for originally constant forces or torques
To create a task action:
- From a Motion Analysis motion study, if you are not already in an event-based view, click Event-based Motion View
(MotionManager toolbar).
- Double-click the Feature column for a selected task.
- Select one or more action features:
- Stop
. Stop the motion.
- Motors
. Turn on or off any motor, or to change a constant speed motor according to a selected profile.
- Forces
. Apply or stop applying any force or torque, or to change a constant force or torque according to a selected profile.
- Mates
. Toggle the suppression of a selected mate.
- Click OK.
- Select the Control:
- Select On or Off to toggle motors, torques, forces, or mate suppression.
- Select Change to change the value of a constant speed motor or a constant force.
- Under the Value column, enter the value for changed motors, torques, or forces.
- Under the Duration column, enter the length of time to apply motors, torques, or forces.
- Under the Profile column, select the motor, torque, or force profile type.
