    Hello Boris,

    Which product are you modeling in, Inspire Motion or MotionView?  Methods can be different based on available modeling entity types.

    Kind regards,

    Scott Z

    Hi Boris,

    Here are three options to consider:

    Option 1: Use a Coupler joint. See: How to Crete a Lead Screw in Inspire Motion

    Option 2: Use a State Dependent Input (translation of screw is a function of the rotation of the screw rotation). See Inspire Help: State Dependent Inputs

    Option 3: If geometry is sufficiently accurate, define a contact between the screw and nut. The interaction is all geometry-based in this case - screw rotates, and as a result of the thread geometry, the nut translates

     

    Hope this was helpful.
