Impose Motion on a Joint

To simulate saw operation, it is necessary to impose motion. In this case, we will apply motion to the motor, just as would be the real world case. To impose motion, you must edit the joint properties.

1. In the browser Standard Joints folder, right-click the Revolution:2 (Saw layout:1. Motor:1) joint, and click Properties.
2. Click the dof 1 (R) tab.
3. Click the Edit imposed motion command , and check Enable imposed motion.
4. Click the arrow to expand the input choices, and click Constant Value. Specify 10000 deg/s (ten thousand).
5. Click OK.
