Simulating a padlock operation.

    I am trying to simulate a padlock lock/unlock operation. In real life the shackle moves first up and then is free to rotate. Can I simulate that movement in Onshape Assemblies?
    The closest I found to that is by using the cylindrical mate and adjusting my vertical translation to the Z and my rotational translation to up  180 degrees. Unfortunately Onshape performs both actions simultaneously from the Go. I would like for the rotation to kick in at approximately 2 seconds after the vertical translation begins, in order to avoid collision of the shackle with the body (Bottom picture).

    When you say simulation... do you mean an animated movie?
