So one of our service reps has asked me to create an animation of assembling our chain and gear drives in our feeder/mixers. I have worked with limit mates and defining the motion of doors and cylinders and the like but have never worked with a request like this. I have an exploded view of the assembly to work with but when I run the animate explode it is a flash and it is done, 76 steps in 3.4 seconds. Not much help for them. I opened the Motion Analysis tutorials and started them but that doesn't seem like what I am looking for.

     Does anyone have any recommendations on how to to proceed with this? The next question will naturally be, Once I get an acceptable animation, how do I save it so someone with SW can run it?

Thanks
