Animate Constraint

[skillian]

Hello All,

In catia V5R 16 I use animate constraint all of the time in sketcher but I am wondering is there anything like that in assembly design or is there anyway to get that command to the assemble design workbench. I would like to make my assemblies move.

I've been looking for same Animate Constraint feature in Assembly Design, but I haven't found it.

The best I've come up with is the MANIPULATE tool using the WITH RESPECT TO CONSTRAINTS option (although it can bog down if there are more than a few constraints).

Another trick is to turn on the automatic update, and then edit the driving constraint and click the up or down arrow to increment the value.

Or, you can use DMU KINEMATICS or DMU FITTING SIMULATION

Does anybody else have any other suggestions?
