Hi,
You may have a look at http://www.spaceclaiming.com/video/spaceclaim-fourbar-mechanism
It has brief explanation on Assembly constraints and how you can check the behavior of your assembly/mechanism.
Could you also elaborate more on your actual…
Hi Ricco,
Thanks for getting back. I tried again and this time I was careful with the order in which the entities are selected for defining the constraints. It did work this time.
The updated and working spaceclaim file can be downloaded from http:…
Hi Rajeev
i do not get the same error it works for me
i though but in some mates aligning the four parts in your z acis

Hi,
I am trying to model a four bar mechanism in SpaceClaim and could not succeed. I was able to define 3 revolute constraint
(circular axes constraint) and when the fourth constraint was tried, its
showing an error message stating constraint viola…

Sorry to be late on the reply but I have been at school meetings starting early today and then a trip to the doctor to have him tell me that I am old guy but healthy. :) I will go through the install process once again following carefully your details. I thought I did that the same way as you described but I could be wrong because I did many things yesterday so I could have messed it up. Exciting events for our science academies here in Las Vegas, so I am going to be real busy this coming year. All worthwhile things to donate my time to. Your program will be demoed here at this science academy and maybe at the UNLV university if I can interest Professor Darrell in it. He teaches Mechanical Engineering here at the college so I'm pretty sure he will have an interest in this and others that I will show him. First I have to get it running so I will do that install over again. Bye for now.

- Hi Mr. Lochan,
Yes Sir, I'm still learning many things and I hope the best things to learn are still ahead of me. As an old guy and being retired no for several years my whole retirement life has been dedicated to the youngsters in our schools. It keeps me off of the streets and away from the TV which I no longer watch. There is too much work to be done. Tomorrow at 7am we have our first Curriculum Advisory Committee Meeting for this school year. I have to try and unite industry with our science academy schools with ongoing help and aid. It is not an easy job but very necessary to get industry to invest in the younger generation.
I have downloaded and installed the freeCAD program you wanted me to look at. It will not start up by itself because it cannot find the file directory. I'll play with it some more tomorrow if I get the chance. I am studying right now a plug in for SketchUp for our Engineering and Architectural courses some of our kids are taking. It is basically an analysis program for green building designs using SketchUp. Very interesting software. Your introductory video was nice and if I can get the program to run I will give it a go as the British say. Can't go anywhere unless I can start the car. :) Well I'm going to get cleaned up and ready for tomorrows meeting. Take care my new friend. We will talk. Bye.

- I would love to go take a test drive with the FreeCAD program. You must excuse this old man. I'm still trying to learn how to use these new web sites. Did I respond properly this time? I hope so. I guess I can find FreeCAD with a search. Thanks for the tip. I am reviewing a few programs right now for this school year so I will get to it soon. :) Bye.

Thanks for the reply.
1. I have played around a little bit with it. It's a very powerful tool for selecting elements with in solids, but doesn't work at all with components. It would be nice if that selection tool would find attributes of a compone…
Hi Dennis,
1. Did you notice the selection tab under the component tree? You might want to play around with that one and see what it can do for you.
4. You can move any direction you like, but you need to use the move tool. I know Cinema4D as quit…
As a drawing is always referring to a certain component, it will by default include everything within the component. It would be possible, though, to create one more drawing and hide those elements not needed for the purpose. If you go on with your…
Thanks for the reply.
1. This worked. Although I would like to see something similar to Rhino's selection filter. Where you can filter out certain elements before you draw a selection box. For instance if I wanted to just select components it would…
I was thinking of something similar to Microstation's clip volume. Although maybe I am thinking about wrong. If you have a large complex assembly and want to show a detail of how 2 parts fit together without showing all the other parts around it. Ho…
Hmmm... I could not find any anomalities in SC 2010 so far. I think the hierarchy driven alignment preferences have always been ab bit ugly. I'd prefer if the alignment direction would be defined by the sequence of selection. The object selected fir…
In former versions I did not have any problems with it. But with V.2010 it is unpredictable. I agree with you Martin that the anchor constraint wil work but it is extra mouseclicks and I do not believe this is the way it is supposed to be.
These are the choices you have, no depth. Never heard of that one, though.
Martin
1. right click on model -> select -> component/body/face
2. no, except they are all inside one big component.
3. No, unfortunately, except for mirrored ones, as the mirror plane will appear as you select them.
4. by adjusting the move handle so as t…
I don't think there is a setting. You can use the anchor constraint to prevent one component from moving, though. I f you don't specify anything, the lower in hierarchy component will always move towards the higher (=closer to root) component. So, b…
