Geneva mechanism: has anyone ever tried to do a kinematics simulation with only 1 driven angle (CATIA V5)?
In a few tutorials for CATIA V5, I understand that 2 driven angles are used to simulate this mechanism... and I have seen that there is a kind of link with a law between those 2 parameters...
But here in this case and what is interesting for me is: is there a way (even complicated way using rules and so on) to make a kind of temporary joint and have only 1 driven angle. Then each time the pin goes into the slot, somehow Catia detects it and activates a slide curve or prismatic joint and when the pin leaves the slot, then Catia deactivates that joint...
Has anyone here ever tried to manage it ? Thanks!

What you are describing Cycy sounds like a CATIA Law to me!
