Hello everyone!
I need to simulate the movement of a pin in a guiding groove. This groove has 3 sections. 2 sections are completely straight. The middle section is a spline. The pin moves to and fro following the profile of the guiding groove.
I need to simulate this motion using the DMU Kinematics simulator. The pin is cylindrical and the groove also does not have plane faces throughout. The pin must be free to rate about its axis, even during the guided movement. Can anyone suggest a type of joint or mechanism that I could use for this purpose? or any other way to simulate the same, without using the Kinematic Simulator module? Thank you!
