Hi. Could you please send me these files so I can look at them? i tried to do this motion but i could not do it.

thanks

@AustinBoyle

yes for resolving body forces u need them,

Thanks so much for responding to my comments. As you said in your other comments, it seems to take a bit of trial and error and I am getting the hang of it now. Am I right in saying that you need to specify materials/mass properties for every single part in the assembly? I will keep you updated on my progress.

@AustinBoyle

select the material for surface contact force and leave the body force as such

step5: run smulation

done done done

@AustinBoyle

There are no mates involved in this simulation

step1: Postion the entire assembly and fix the base

step2: position the bottles (as I dont know their official names)

Note: Need to only position them and not to mate! it will take u sometime to understad the trick and practice wil give an idea about this

step3: Activate Motion SImulation tab

step3: Add gravity

step4: add contact and if ur aware of the body and contact force u can give them or just select the material

Hi there,

Could you tell me what mates and "3d contacts" you have setup in this assembly? I notice the ball starts in the air but I seem to get an error unless I start the ball in contact with the ramp. If I don't put a 3d contact the ball just falls through the ramp! Any tips greatly appreciated. Finding it hard to find any good tutorials on Solidworks motion. Thanks.
