revolute mate

Hello everyone, I am trying to simulate a pretty basic engine mechanic, but I got met with this: If someone knows why the mate reacts in such a way, it would be helpful. 🙏 I wish to use the "Revolute mate" so I can use the "Animate" to simulate it's movement.

This is a robot arm design I created based on a reference design I found online. However, when I try to connect any two of these blue-colored parts using revolute mates, one of the joints (circled in orange) fails to work properly. They move in a different way, losing the revolute mate-connecting the joint… Does anyone…

Hello all. I am pretty new to CAD and am designing a engine driven pump on a platform that will raise up and down as needed. I have a revoute mate for the driveshaft and a slider mate for the elevator guides. However, when I animate the revolute mate the platform jumps up and down along the slide mate. Can anyone advise me…

Hi everyone, I've created a manipulator model in Onshape using revolute mates (from left: column- fixed, link1, link2, link3 - all revolute). I want to make sure that the last link (link3) does not move relative to the previous one (link2) when I move the first link (link1) . How can I achieve this? Before moving first…

Hi, I hope I'm using the correct terminology; apologies if I'm not. I created an assembly of a leg with a bearing tube for a piece of scissor lifting equipment. The leg attaches to a lifting bed and requires to have some freedom of rotational movement but attached to the pivot point on the bed. However when I use a…

i am trying to develop a lift in work. i have drawn a plate that rotates on hinges, also added in a ram in assembly mode. just to test positions of where the ram may be mounted. used a revolute mate for the plate/frame. that moves as id like used a sliding mate for the ram that moves in and out But positioning revolute…

Is there a detailed description somewhere of how OnShape handles part movement in multi-joint chained assemblies? Specifically wondering about why it seems like sometimes moving a part at the end of a chain appears to work as expected (ie pretty much how it would in the physical world, presumably using inverse kinematics…

I want to put a mate connector in between these entities in order to make a revolute mate with the center of the cylindrical axle. I was previously using a slider mate in conjunction with a planar mate (mate connector between the angled bar), but the rack and pinion relation doesn't allow me to select slider mates (despite…

Hello,I'm near the end of a project to make a gear assembly but having the following problem. I've created a shaft which rotates perfectly withe the revolute mate. I can add the 15 tooth gear so that the spline and shaft mesh but the gear will not rotate. If I add a revolute mate to the gear instead, it will rotate but not…

I am an old dog trying to learn new tricks! How can I center a Revolute Mate on a squarish hole? This is a Vex robotics channel. Even the axle is square too but I haven't gotten to that yet. Need to build 4 bar, 6 bar, scissor lifts. This is for middle school kids who are building robots, if it's too hard the kids are not…

Hi, here is my example:https://cad.onshape.com/documents/dec9d680c0738fb31d7de0c5/w/b7fcbb8cfcbce7d329a47010/e/c4a2c8fe27ffbc076e1d0accI would like to know how to connect Part 1<10> with Part 1<13> using revolute mate without breaking existing connections
