This command allows you to create a mechanism. This stage is necessary to configure the kinematic or dynamic.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Click the icon or select Mechanism > Mechanism... from the drop-down menu.

 

 

When an assembly with mechanism is included in a fixed main assembly which has also to be convert to a mechanism, it is possible to Inherit rigid groups, joints and forces from sub-assemblies already defined as mechanism.

For a better readability, inherit elements are named with the name of the assembly document and name of the joint/rigid group/force in this assembly.

 

 

You can transform a mechanism rigid assembly (fabricated chassis or imported assembly) with this command. The same command allows you to perform the reverse operation if a mechanism assembly is applied. This operation destroys all mechanism created operations (scenario, constraint, ...). The Mechanism folder is deleted from the entity tree.
