Hey guys, I do a lot of kinematic layouts involving moving parts in aircraft assemblies. Many of those layouts consist of harness and hoses (flexible components) that undergo deformation and motion throughout their defined movement.
Currently, if I want to see what a harness looks like after it has been coiled, or what a hose looks like after it has been twisted, I have to exit my kinematic in nominal mode, and update. This is very time consuming for me. It would also be useful if I could see real time updates of the flexible components via robot (compass) manipulation.
Look at the ~55 second mark in this youtube explanation video where the user is able to manually drag his flat cable harness from side to side, and the harness updates in real time (or close to it). How does he do this, are there simply some settings I am missing? I've tried to recreate his scenario but with no luck.
I do my design in V6 but I know a lot of elements between V5 and V6 are similar.
Any ideas? Thanks!
