Hi all,
I'm trying to simulate a mechanism on Creo Parametrics where a roller has to follow a slot cut through on a cylinder surface as shown in the Image below. The shaft connected with the roller has to translate downwards when the roller moves along the slot. I don't know what kind of constraints I need to apply for that to happen. My final aim is to find out the forces acting on the roller while it moves along the curved path. Need help on simulating this. Can anyone help me on that?
