This is my exercise setting.
Two stacked Sinusoidal Rotation Kinematics,but this motion is not a conical swing around the z-axis, but a swing towards the positive x-axis direction.
How should I set it up? Thank you.
Hi,
I think what you are missing is the starting orientation of the mantle. The motion looks ok but it should start from a slight offset.
You can use the geometry transform otion to set this to be the same as the displacement magnitude:
You can see also in my case there is also a rotation around the Y axis (note i'm showing screenshot from a case where gravity is -Y). Typically you would want a slight rotation around the vertical axis as well as the two sinusoidal motions.
