Motion Simulation: Translation Motor with/without Collision

For this simulation you use an assembly that consists of the parts shown below. These parts are not linked by HCM constraints. A Material has been assigned to these parts.

A motion simulation with a translation motor for Box 1 is to be performed in this example - without View control. First, activate the assembly. Then, proceed as follows:

• Select New simulation .
• Right click View control and select Deactivate.
• Select the Translation motor function (part to be moved: Box1, Direction: bottom edge of the box (a), Velocity: 10 mm/s).

• Settings : Frames per second: 20, checkbox Cancel collision... deactivated.
• Maximum simulation time: 10 s, Time interval 8 s.

• Calculate the simulation.

• Now activate the Cancel calculation in case of collision checkbox in the settings.
• Re-calculate the simulation .
