animation: rotation and translation

I don't know the answer to your question but can suggest how you might clarify the problem.

Is there a mechanism mating the part to the pipe?

Are you applying two motive forces, or is there one force + gravity?

The level (i.e. entry vs. premium) of your Solidworks installation will significantly affect your chances of solving this type of problem.

I would consider invoking mass, gravity, friction and collision detection.

Are you the same guy who posted about another animation?

Anyhow were you trying to do something like this...

Hi, I saw the video on this animation.

I'm trying to move an object using "pathmate". I set the path and change the distance and it works. But when I add the option of pitch/ yaw, it doesn't. Do you think you can help me with this?

Thanks, tony

Tony,
