Help with Solidworks Motions Study needed !
Guys i jus made a Gimbal in Solidworks and i tried my hand out in Motion Study to see if i can get an animation outta it . So what this gimbal is supposed to do is enter into a perpetual motion due to the force of gravity acting on it . I applied gravity from all possible directions but oly two of the three rings rotate :( i dont get the motion i intend to , hope you get what i mean ! am i doin somethin wrong or is it jus not possible ?

I have created a realistic motion study and animation video of this model. Please check it out to see if the results is what you were expecting. I believe it is fairly accurate.
Make sure that you Motion Analysis option is selected. Simulate the "Real World" as much as you can. Apply the gravity in one direction only(usually down). Apply a motor on a part that you want to move(Rotary, Linear or Path), apply Material, Friction and Contacts to the parts and apply Force in the desired directions.
I hope this helps.
