Ciau,
Look, I have a big problem and it's sound like this: i must do a animation wich contain two robots wich one set the glue on a body car for the windscreen while the other oner is putting on the windscreen.Now the problem is like this: how do I "tell" to computer to move the robotic arm on the bodycar (wich have's a traiectory=windscreen form) for the job with the glue and the last problem how do i "tell" to computer(Proe) after he put the windscree on the bodycar to let the windscreen there??????Do I dent a move to the wind screen independently from the robotic arm ?????and how I do that, after a traiectory in ProE?????????It is somebody ho can help me ??
Or I gone a be forced to use another 3D programm?????
Please help me !!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much
 
Hi Nazgul,

Are you working in the US? I only ask because I don't know if the Italian language version of Pro/E uses different terms.

What you are looking for is a feature in Pro/E called "Mechanism". It's a similar idea to how the "other" 3D modeling software packages animate, but it's geared more toward mechanical design logic. Once you have an assembly with several parts, you must set up the model to be animated. Then you must apply some change to the assembly over time, such the angle of a robot arm, or the twist angle of an end effector.

Here are a couple of sites to get you started:

This one is actually from software called Autodesk Inventor (AutoCAD)

This part is not specific to Pro-E, but it does talk about Robot arm logic.
