And, in the dynamic simulation environment, you build joints to create
degrees of freedom.
Understand Constraints
By default, certain constraints that exist in the assembly are automatically
converted to joints when dynamic simulation. This eliminates extensive work
on your part in creating joints.
NOTE Autodesk Inventor Simulation Simulation converts constraints that have to
do with degrees of freedom, such as Mate or Insert, but does not convert
constraints that have to do with position, such as Angle.
Open tutorial file
1 Set your active project to tutorial_files and then open Reciprocating
Saw.iam.
2 Use the Save As command and give the new file a name such as
RecipSaw-saved.iam.
3 To see how the assembly moves, drag the bevel gear at the end of the
motor. The gear revolves but not other components in the kinematic
chain.
