Is there a video or tutorial on how to model the movement of a Bimba pneumatic cylinder connected to a lever arm using the educational version of PTC Creo parametric?

If not, how should I get started on modeling movement of connected parts?

    Robert,

    Attached is an old concept model I worked on with FRC 2876 - Devilbotz for the LogoMotion game. We never did build this, but it would have been pretty cool. I'm assuming you can open the model the investigate the assembly techniques used to create the pin joints and slider joints that make up the motion. Let me know if you have any specific questions after looking at the model.

    Thanks!  This example has been a big help.  I opened up the file and was able to figure out how to model our pnumatics.
