In this video I take a look at building a kinematic simulation using the Mechanical Systems Design app, and how to troubleshoot a Mechanism Representation that was created using engineering connections that someone else put together. Just because an assembly was put together with engineering connections doesn’t mean that they were done with a Kinematic simulation in mind. So, when someone tries to use those engineering connections to create joints, problems can occur. Specifically, we look at changing the Mechanism Status from “The mechanism can not be simulated” to “The Mechanism can be simulated but the DOF are not controlled by a command” to finally “The mechanism is fully defined and can be simulated.”
