Sketchy physics - rotating a crank

Hi,

I finally solved my problems with the whirligig.
What I learned today (stay positive :slight_smile: )

  • It’s very important to set the joint very precisely (an offset can have a huge impact)
  • when nothing works, set a name to the joints, you can play manually the animation … and keep calm :slight_smile:
  • Check examples on the warehouse … if you don’t find exaclty your solution, at least you will see people doing things really more complex that what you are trying to achieve

It could be nice to have a dedicated forum for SP; there are so many things that we can do (… and so little documentation :()
I hope that a new 64 bits will come soon (now I have to work with SU 8 with SP and SU 2015 for my other projects) - No way to install on the same computer SU 2015 32 and 64 bits

Rgds,
Philippe
