Select ‘Sliding: Cylinder Curve’ from the drop down menu of Insert Joint dialog box.Activate Insert Joint from the Marking menu.Click the view Tab and change the View of the model to ‘Shaded with Edges’ in the Visual Style drop down.Activate the Dynamic Simulation Tool from the Begin Panel of Environments Tab.Apply a Mate Constraint between YZ Plane of Assembly and YZ Plane of Follower.Apply a Flush Mate between the upper most front face (Red coloured) of Cam and face of small pulley (Black coloured) of Follower.Re-orient the Follower against the Cam using Rotate Component Tool.Now this time only one ‘Degrees of Freedom’ persist and Cam can be moved only on its Z Axis.Apply a Flush Mate between the XY Plane of Assembly and upper most front face (Red coloured) of Cam.Apply an Axis Mate between the Z Axis of Assembly and Z Axis of Cam.At present there are six Degrees of Freedom in Cam and it can be moved in any direction in the Assembly.Click the Degrees of Freedom icon in the Visibility Panel of View Tab.Select the Cam in the design window and remove its ‘Grounded’ position from the context menu.Set the current view as Home View by using the toggle next to View Cube.

Align the Cam in correct position by using View Cube.

Select Place component from the marking menu and place the ‘Cam’ in the Assembly.

Save it with the name ‘Cam and Follower-Dynamic Simulation’.

Create a Standard (mm).iam Assembly file.

Select Metric Template in the Create New File Dialogue Box.

Click the New icon under the Work tab in the Welcome Screen of Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013.

In this video, we will demonstrate how to apply the different type of mates in the assembly environment for creating the Dynamic Simulation of the ‘Cam and Follower’.Ĭlick the following link to get the model file : - ĭisplay of motion in ‘Cam and Follower’ through Dynamic Simulation
