Hey Folks,
Long time SW user and what used to be called Cosmos Motion. I'vejust loaded SW 2009 Premium and I'm having a little trouble.
I have used Cosmos Motion successfully in the past (Cosmos Motion2007) to predict the movement of spinning parts; think centrifugewith buckets that hang down, when the motor spins the rotor, thebuckets would pivot up under certrifugal force until they were at ~90 degrees from their static positon.
I have built a simple assembly but for the life of me I can't seemto get started.
In Cosmos Motion what I used to do is define the "moving" parts;"Ground" parts, add some joints, a bit of friction and then apply a"motion"
I can't imagine that the setup of Simulation motion analysis haschanged THAT much in the past 2 years, but maybe I'm wrong.
Can someone point me in the general direction of how to get startedon a simple motion analysis.
I'm not looking for a stress analysis, what I need for a result isthe projection angles of the "buckets"
Thanks in advance for your help
