Is there any way to create a screw joint on Inspire motion? I mean, something like screw and nut when nut rotates its rotates itself?

 

Thanks.

    With Inspire 2019.1 you can use the Joint Coupler to create a rotational-translational relationship between joint movements.

    Please find the attached model and corresponding video.

    In this example a preloaded spring has been placed between the nut and bolt to represent the compressive load as the nut is tightened.

    Hopefully you get the idea here.

     

    Good luck.
