Assembling an airbag

I want to know if anybody out there has ever assembled an airbag for an
air suspension? As you know these airbags will expand and
contract as the suspension is lifted or lowered. The two mounting
plates on the top and bottom of these airbags are seldom parallel.



We use mechanism to assemble our suspensions so that we can move them
throughout thier motion - but we have not figured out how to get the
airbags to "flex" or expand and contract with this motion. Has
anybody ever don anything similar to this? And if so, do you have
any advice on how to best do this?
 
weshould use edit/setup/flexibility. but unfortunately, we can't use this flexibility in motion orin mechanism, animation.we can onlymake flexibility in a part or in assembly. Anyway we'dbetter combine proper parameters& dimensions to use this function in assembly. ifa model is simple, we can use only one dimension.


if you want to see to expand and contract your airbag in any way, I think you should use"Display @ Time...' in animation.whether you use flexibility or not, you have to make every airbag shapewhich you want to present. after that, you have to add Display@Time for every shape on KFS(Key Frame Sequence). please let me know if you have any problem.
