Unique Radial Piston. Help PLEASE!
-
I need help making the pistons move back and forth of the model in the pictures below. I have done everything the way it should be done but the technical level of this model has me at a stand point. I am altering one of my previous models which uses oscillating motion and I'm turning it into a radial piston. However, the technical level comes into play where the hinge at the very bottom center (hinge 1) of the stack is just a hinge and the next 2 hinges up on the left (hinge 2) and right (hinge 3) of the center hinge are motors that are attached to the 2 arms (arms 1 & 2) and when the motors spin it creates a force which causes to center hinge (hinge 1) to rotate. The problem I'm having is I can't get the pistons to move back and forth like they are supposed to. I have all my hinges and sliders in the right places. I convex hulled everything individually and grouped them including the hinges correctly. Here is the link to the model I'm trying to get to work. http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=1926f8a59404c40d8511f64868e7c781 If you fix it please do not upload to the 3d warehouse. Please send to me in a .zip file. Thank you.
