Undesired initial displacement?
Hi colleges,
I'm working with a movement of a part, using the next Expression: `STEP5(TIME,0,0,0.1,80)+STEP5(TIME,0.2,80,0.3,0)`
And the part, at the start has a initial displacement of 80mm:
I don't understand where comes this initial displacement, any mistake in the Expression?
I attached the complet file.
Thanks!

Hi Carlos,
The second part of your expression STEP5(TIME,0.2,80,0.3,0) means at time 0.2 and less than 0,2 the step5 function will return 80. So use -80, STEP5(TIME,0.2,0,0.3,-80) to bring back the 80 of first step5 to zero.
`STEP5(TIME,0,0,0.1,80)+STEP5(TIME,0.2,0,0.3,-80)`
