I want to run my AnyMoCap model with the CAD model. In my CAD model, I have one Linear guide which has linear motion. I have used Three coincident and one limit angle constraints in Solidworks to assemble this linear guide and I have tried to run that model in AnyBody, but it is showing some error. In attachments, you can find some Photo of that Linear guide for better understanding. Can you please help me to solve this problem?
Could you please update your profile (name, organization, etc) so that we can figure out which users are asking the questions. Afterwards, we will try to figure out how to support you.
AnyExp4SolidWorks does not support an instance of the LimitDistance type mates. So those mates will not be translated.
If you would like to make a kind of prismatic joint between two parts, I would like to suggest you to try the following combination of two different mates: 1 LINE-LINE Coincident mate
1 POINT-PLANE Coincident mate
These two mates will add 5 constraints in the model.
Thank you very much for your reply. The slider is now working perfectly.
I have one more problem. In my CAD model I have total of 8 joints, one of them is the Slider Joint (Prismatic joint) and 7 other hinge joints. When I am adding that whole model in AnyBody, I am getting the following error.
Model is kinematically over-constrained (1 unsolvable constraints found).
I have used 2 drivers to attached this CAD model to human Model with 11 constraints.
Can you plese tell me, how can I solve this problem?
If you are correct, if there are 1 prismatic joint and 7 hinge joints,
it seems that there are 8 degrees of freedom internally in your mechanism.
But if there is no segment that is attached to the global coordinate system, also there are another 6 degrees of freedom .
So I would assume that there are totally 14 degrees of freedom.
If you used 2 drivers and 11 constraints, then it seems that the number of constraints that you used seems to be correct.
Once again, thank you very much for your quick response. Now i konw that, where was the problem in my mechanism. In my mechanism there is one close loop with two links, which I run in inverse dynamics as a close loop, and its not working. But when I opened the loop than the inverse dynamics is runnig perfectly. Attachment shows the photo of the mechanism and I have explained in detail.
