Construct Moving
Assemblies
To simulate the dynamic motion in an assembly, define mechanical joints between the parts.
This chapter provides basic workflows for constructing joints.
Creating Rigid Bodies
In some cases, it may be appropriate that certain parts move as a rigid body and
a joint is not required. As far as the movement of these parts is concerned, the
welded body functions like a subassembly moving in a constraint chain within
a parent assembly.
Create a rigid body using weld
1 In the browser, expand Grounded, and then click bracket:1.
2 Under Mobile Groups, CTRL-click door:1.
Ensure that both parts are selected.
3 Right-click door:1, and then select Weld Parts.
The parts become a rigid body.
4 Select Welded group:1 and press F2.
The name of the welded group becomes a text entry box.
5 In the text entry box, enter complete door:1.
