I have a problem with the animation on my project

if I enter the values manually I have a nice result, but if I tried an animation they become crazy, animation is good but it is not the desired result (physically impossible)

Hi buho29,

First of all, thank you for the great model you shared.

I confirm that the problem you described exists with RhinoAssembly 1.1. We're analyzing it, and will include the fix into future releases.

Please tell which animation scenario is most important for you? What is the name of constraint you want to animate?

Best regards,
Alexey

hello

my scenario is mainly to validate my rotor and studied different situation

Animation example :

bb_3 value 110°
pitch 0.1mm
elev 105°
animation aile 75<->105°


all the constraints are animated, but only one same time

thank you for reply

Hi,

Thank you for describing the scenario, we'll use it for validation.

Also, I noted that you use simple angle dimensions, it is recommended to use Planar Angle, i.e. angle with axis (see some old discussion here). Using Planar Angles gives you better control on you model and decreases the risk to get problems with animation as you described.

Best regards,
Alexey
