Friction error in MSC Adams

[Ingenierio]

Good afternoon, I am trying to model a crank and piston mechanism in MSC Adams. When I mold it, I see some default friction coefficients in the revolute joints. Right now, I want to study the model without friction, so I replace the values of the static and dynamic friction coefficients with 0.0. However, when I try to calculate, I get an error message saying that the static friction coefficient must be greater than or equal to 0 and that the dynamic one must be greater than or equal to the static one. I don’t understand this, since I specified a value of 0.0 for both, which meets both conditions. Why could this be happening? Is there any way to eliminate friction from the entire model?

Greetings and thank you in advance.

Try setting the friction very low, but not zero. I assume you are using View, have you completed the Latch tutorial? Oh, and can you post the exact error message?
