problem with Tranlational Joint Motion

[Justyna3087]

Hallo,

I am using Adams/View. I want to simulate two translational moves in my model in 60 seconds space, by using only one "Tranlational Joint Motion". How to do it? Rigt now, I can generate only one motion using function STEP. I simply want to eject and return the hydraulic cylinder. Can anyone help me?

Use another STEP in the same equation.

something like

FUNC=2500.000*STEP(TIME,1,0,2,1)*STEP(TIME,2,1,3,0)



Cheers

Hi,

Thank you for help, but it didn't work. The mechanism has locked up.

Have you got any other ideas?

1) do the tutorials

2) pnone msc support

3) post your model here

That's more or less in order of preference.

Cheers

Well, I've found the solution:

STEP(TIME,1,0,2,1)+STEP(TIME,2,0,3,-1)

Any other combination didn't work. Anyway, thanks for trying to help
