Joints

Does anyone here knows anything about joints in CATIA DMU Kinematics?
I´m trying to connect a cam to the valves of an engine...But its getting difficult to find and configure the right joint

Thanks in advance

Helio,

I haven't used Kinematics for awhile, so my memory is not too good.

It sounds like you want to use a CONTACT constraint. If you can't get it to work with faces, try creating a curve on each part.

here's a link to another forum that includes pictures of Helio's problem and the solution to simulate the kinematics of the engine cam and valves:

Here it is the result!!!Already working
Thanks for your help
