Dynamic Spring - David Butz

[ChristianSmith]

This might be a long shot but I'm interested in learning how to create dynamic assemblies like the ones you've posted. Would it be possible to post a tutorial teaching how to do one of the dynamic spring videos you posted?

Thanks

Christian,

I'm more than happy to pass on the technique; expected the question after posting the videos. I think I better do it in "Article" format, however; it needs a bit more space than one of these Forum blurbs. Give me a couple days; am just finishing up a major project and don't have "two minutes to rub together" (just to mangle a metaphor). You can find my earliest version of this technique in a ConnectPress "Tips and Tricks" article published in Dec., 2009, but my improved technique is MUCH easier and faster, so stay tuned. (Also explained this as a User Presentation at last year's PTC/User conference in Florida; I think 2 of the videos and a PowerPoint are downloadable from their site.)

Thanks David, I'll wait for the improved technique article and in the mean time check out some of your earlier videos.

Christian (and others who have asked),

Just posted a Document called Dynamic Spring Models II.doc. Take a look. If you have any questions, let me know. If there is enough interest, I will consider creating a CD of models for others to use, at nominal cost.

That was much easier then I had anticipated. Thank you for taking the time to create those instructions. A very helpful concept!
