Screw and nut animation

Hi all!

I'm trying to animate how a nut rolls over its screw (SW 2007), but no
way!

any tip?

thanks

Plus there would be two ways, right?

 

toni,

I have an example of this, but I don't remember where I got it from.
If you give me the last three letters of your email adress, I will
email it to you. I got freakt. File size is 330 kb.

Reaper.

 

What have you tried so far?

 

hi again,

yes, will be two ways (up and down)

I'm trying to cut the screw section along one rod using helix path...
till now no good result

anyway, I have the example of Reaper (thank again), so I hope today
will have done.

ok, done!

just a little tricky... that's what I do:

1- extrude a rod
2- sketch a circle at one planar side of rod with same diameter
3- sketch an helix through the rod (using the circle sketch)
4- 3dsketch copying the helix
5- make plane normal at 3dsketch helix and with initial point at
starting helix (say it right?)
6- sketch the pitch (profile screw) at that plane
7- cut using sketch 6 using 3dsketch as path

I can email the part

thanks

well, here's one tutorial:

Create nut and screw have helix cut. Add concentric and coincident
relations and you can roll to and forward.

Here is one example http://uploading.com/files/5mde166f/mate.zip/
