Greetings:
First of all, sorry for my english, it's not my native language, i'm new using solidworks motion analysis, and i was doing a Withworth mechanism analysis to get the required motor torque and power and choose one from a list, the thing is, i've been following the steps from the tutorials, adding mates (including friction) and got random results for max torque (between 30 and 1600 N-mm), i know there's something wrong with my analysis and i want to know what it is, i hope you guys can help me. i want to know if what i'm doing is right or wrong, maybe some mates are not neccesary and affects the max torque result, which mates should i keep? are the "block" mates modifying the results?
what i'm i doing wrong? i hope you guys help me defining the right mates to get the right result
Assembly and parts attached
thanks in advance for helping
this is the data screen caps
speed data
motion analysis precision 0.001
frames per second: 360
integrator: WSTIFF
switched-on gravity: max torque = 1618 N-mm
motion analysis precision 0.001
frames per second: 360
integrator: WSTIFF
switched-off gravity: max torque = 30 N-mm
and when i switch on gravity with a new block mate between "pasador<3>" and "pasador_transmisor<1>" i got this:
motion analysis precision 0.001
frames per second: 360
integrator: WSTIFF
switched-on gravity and local blocking mate 8: max torque = 31N-mm
