Description
This is a simple model to study the units and engagements systems in VM. I think there are several ways to do this model.
Use the rightmost combo box in the menu bar. Select the unit PORTE and use the + and – numkeys.
updated 21/10 : better model IMHO

My garage door, at my house, works exactly this way by means of an electric geared motor turning a torsion rod solidary to the 2 side arms of the door.

I did not mention on my previous note but in my door I have 2 counterweights hidden inside the vertical frame that, using upper pulleys and cables, balance the component of the weight of the leaf, fastened to the lateral sliders that run inside the vertical rails.
