Help Needed to create the Mechanism

[siddhu2310]

Hi,

I want to model a mechanism (see attached image) with the following setup:

Body 1 and Body 2 are in contact, and Body 3 is an arm connected to the mechanism.

I want to pull the end of Body 3 at a constant speed of 30 mm/s.

While pulling, I need to track the force (magnitude and direction) at the pulling point until Body 1 and Body 2 slip relative to each other.

A constant 100 N force is applied to Body 1, trying to rotate it counterclockwise (CCW).

Could you guide me on how to create the basic shapes (arc with circle in Body 2) for these bodies in Exudyn and how to simulate this pulling motion and measure the reaction force and moment at revolute Joint

Your sketch is quite unclear and we do not have real support for creating mechanisms. If you have absolutely no idea to model it, you can also ask AI to get a starting point. Note that you should provide a relevant Exudyn example (search for a 2D rigid body example) to the prompt in order to improve the accuracy of the output. In general, use CreateRigidBody, CreateRevoluteJoint, CreateForce to get startet. The circular contact in plane would work perfectly with a SphereSphereContact.
