Constraint

How can I connect the Flywheel (1) to the Crankshaft (2) so that the Flywheel rotates ONLY if the Crankshaft rotates?
Thank you.

Hello,

That works, but it's only for 1:1 ratio. Another way is to constrain the flywheel to the crankshaft, with motion constraint specifying the wanted ratio. Adding a motion constraint will create a rotational dependency. So you either rotate the crank or the flywheel, they will both rotate.
