Description
This is a model to test the engagements system in VirtualMEC. Automatic engagements appear when two gears are in correct geometrical position. To see it, you move the arm gear above the 4 gears of the receiver, they turn only when it is at the good place.
To play with : Menu : View : Toolbars and Docking Windows : Motion
then adjust general speed and MOTEUR speed.
Then choose in the rightmost combo box the unit POIGNEE (HANDLE) then you use it to move the arm with the numkey + and – or the curved green arrow. As there is no stop, you can pass through the model.
The units and engagements system of the arm has been interesting to make. Enjoy !
UPDATED 13/05 better design (IMHO)
