The Joint Mesh Setup dialog box should still be open after creation of the previous two joints. The part number has again been incremented to the next available unused number (5). Also, the Participating surfaces list has been cleared. This time, we need the part number of the joint to differ from the previous two. In order to transmit a rotational displacement to the crank, beam elements are required for the joint. Trusses, which are specified by default for joints, transmit axial loads only.
This tutorial is now complete. You can use this model to complete the Piston Mechanical Event Simulation tutorial.
