Tips by Joe (Proe, Excel...)

This post is to get you a very basic Animation that you can use if you are new to animation. Proe Version : WF2 Quick Introduction: ProE Animation is a typical ProE Module in the sense that sometimes its not easy to start with. But once you get the grip of it, its so easy and powerful. Most tend to think that it’s a hard think to crack but that’s NOT the case at all. I would try to post a few to get you started.

This is the continuation of the previous post that I had. I modified the previous mechanism a little bit, and I got this. I removed the slot-follower connection and instead I added an additional pin connection which makes the wheel rotate about the vertical. That plus the manipulation of the tilting angle resulted in this. I think the rendering also is a bit better. It took almost couple of hours to capture the rendered video! But worth the effort.. Here is the video...

This is a Mechanism (with Animation) of a wheel rolling along a guide curve, tilting on its way.. I was browsing through the PTC Forum and found a requirement. He wanted to simulate a wheel rolling along a curve with a possibility of tilting as well. I have been playing around with mechanism options for my other task . So I thought of giving it a try.

This is typical view of ProE files saved in a folder. For a beginner this can be bit confusing and sometimes will lead to some problems. What is it Each time you save a ProE file, it creates an additional file (instead of overwriting it). file.prt, file.prt.1 etc. Next time you save and it will create another file with next higher serial number

Hi Guys.. Well, I have the next one.. This time I have uploaded it in youtube.
