Hello David,
Although I am also inexperienced with Mechanism, perhaps sharing my experiences so far might help.
I was not able to define a contact between the cam surface and my follower (I tried cam connection and 3d contact). It seems the cam connection only works for radial cams. It also...
Thank you for your reply hydromech.
This is actually what I do now - I use a slot constraint to constrain the centre point of the ball to the trajectory curve of the cam profile, as you suggest. This trajectory is set up so that the centre point of the ball is positioned exactly where it would...
