How do I record the positions of points in a linkage system?

[mparmenteri-2]

Hello,

I am attempting to create a linkage system in Creo. I can parameterize everything so that the linkage system can move and change position, but I am not sure how to track these positions.

Ideally, I would add a few points in, then record their positions for various movement sweeps. I could then export the data to excel and plot the path they took.

I could feasibly do this manually, but I know SolidWorks has an add-in for this and I'm sure there must be some PTC equivalent.

Thanks for any input,

Matt

Do you have the mechanism design module?  If so, refer to this thread: Wankel engine port area
