In continuation with the Previous post, here is a quick video showing you how such simulations are created.

See How- Video:

In the video, we start in 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA with already created parts, and assemble them in the Assembly Design app, while creating a Revolute joint that enables the Spiral to rotate and lift the Ball. We have defined "Contact" between the Marble and the other parts, so they behave like in the real world, and do not intrude into each other's volume. And finally, with Mechanical Systems Design  and Mechanical Systems Experience  Apps, we have added Gravity Excitation and a Velocity Law Excitation to keep the spiral rotating. Finally we define the Dynamics Scenario and Run the Simulation.
