Could anyone advise me to define the servo motor so that I can assign a velocity value for the slot path? I have attached the screen shot; I can also submit the pro-e assembly if you would like. I am trying tomeasure the cylinder motion velocity and thus calculate flow rate based on the design requirement, which is the set velocity for the slot path.I would elaborate this a little more: Say if I could define a servo motor to move the "HANDLER_LOWER_GRIPPER_PNT" (which is a part of the "SCOPING TUBE") at a constant velocity of 12 inch/second through the entire path of the slot, then I would be able to put a velocity measure on the point: "CYLINDER_LINKAGE" and thus design the cylinder flow rate.
But Servo motor does not allow me to pick the slot connection as 'driven entity'. Another option I have is to select Geometry as driven entity, but then I will not be able to do Kinematic / dynamicanalysis, hence velocity can not be measured.
Hope one of the Mechanism experts could help me with this?
