      Hi Anton,
      Thank you for your reply. Since I am French I do not speak English well.

      I did not understand everything ... the hand is unstable ?

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJerEEx-btw
      funny ? ๐Ÿ˜‰

      I do not find ๐Ÿ˜„ She works well my hand ๐Ÿ˜‰. I like sketchup + msphysic because I understand what I do. Other software is too complicated for me. You will have time for: "The table with angles and times must be converted to a Ruby Hash".

      At the moment I try this function of time:


      ft = 9,75 -7,91cos(6,28world.time) -0,88cos(18,84world.time)
      -0,32cos(31,4world.time) -0,16cos(43,96world.time) -5,27sin(3,14world.time)


      Here is the Fourier series that works ๐Ÿ˜„ youpi !
      -9.75+7.91Math.cos(6.28world.time)+0.88Math.cos(18.84world.time)+0.32Math.cos(31.4world.time)+0.16Math.cos(43.96world.time)+5.27Math.sin(3.14world.time)


      it does not work. What to do? thank you

      Thank you very much, Best regards.

        Another problem with a servo and a non-collision object. After the fall of the candle a strange behavior of the flame arises. Collision, gravitation, etc. do not seem to be completely canceled. The joint oscillates in high frequency, which can even lead to a crash. What can I do?

        Poorly connected the groups together. I added "Ball and Socket" joint in a new group, and a new "Up vector" to green axis. This disables the rotation.

        Try it now: Test_03.skp

          Hello, luckyvac,

          I added a small script to your guitar to play the sound and control arm/wrist movements based on the table of values you provided in your earlier post. It turns out, it works very well! Great job with getting those angle values! It must have taken you a lot of time. You can download your attached model below.

          When I said the hand was too unstable, I meant the MSPhysics version of a hand, not the real one. I apologize if you misunderstood and took it as an offence. In MSPhysics, a hand with 22 servos will not work well. It will be very unstable. Your guitar, however, requires only two servos; one for the arm and the other for the wrist - and it is very stable. So anyway, download the model below and see how it goes. Later, we could create an emulator that would play the real midi notes for the Blowin in the Wind song.

          Regards,
          Anton

                Hi, Jakub,

                If you enable the collision wireframe for your model, which can be done by opening MSPhysics UI, activating the Simulation tab, and, enabling the Collision Wireframe, you will see that the collision generated for the gears is improper. All sub collisions of dynamic (movable) shapes must consist from separate convex sub-groups. That said, your gears are concave. To fix it, either split the teeth in separate sub-groups/components, or use this plugin to draw gears instead: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=46319

                Regards,
                Anton

                  Faust07,

                  There are better ways for doing a candlelight. You could use particle effects or have a sequence of fire models that would hide unhide at a particular frame, that is, a repeating animation. The particle effects is the best approach as it always unique and easier to make. Besides you could also add a trailing smoke. An example is attached below.

                  Regards,
                  Anton

                      Hi, Anton. Thank you very much. Again a great example of the particle effect and of a script to learn efficient programming. If we could do the smoke with emitters then there is a chance to render the simulation of the candle.

                        Have found a solution for the problem of SketchUp 2017 animation export of SketchUp 2016 MSPhysics models. Start SUp 2017 and import the SUp 2016 MSPhysics file with the .skp-import funktion. All scene data with layers, stiles, shadows etc. are lost, but the export of animations even of large models works. To open a SUp 2016 MSPhysics model directly and export the simulation from Replay brought the incomplete images. The underlying cause of the problem I could not find unfortunately...

                          hi jakub89
                          Please, take a look at the following example.
                          The study of this example may help you with the problem of collision with the group and the subgroup.

                              After tests with the late discovered Cenvexify (Fredo6 - Fredo Tools) here some problems with the relatively large torus segments with the usual MSP user interface settings.

                                Hello Faust07. I copied the slices into a new model and it works well. Always try this solution in such cases.

                                  Thanks again, Istvan. Good to know. It seems to be a similar problem as the frame export in MSP Replay in SUp 2017 using SUp 2016 models. The solution was to copy the content or to import the model into a new model.
                                  BTW, thanks for your shape loader extension! ๐Ÿ‘

                                    Hi Anton,
                                    during extensive physics calculations, MSPhysics reduces interim phases during image reproduction. Partially over 5 frames, the content remains the same. This can lead to pretty jerky videos. It would be helpful if this setting, at least for exporting the images in Replay, could be turned off?

                                      Hello all,

                                      i'm new to msphysics and intermediate at sketchup 2016, and can't get my model to work the way i want.
                                      Is there someone who can point me in the right direction???

                                      I like to reproduce this type of device and then make it animate in sketchup.

                                      For now i have made some parts already but i want to begin animating already, but can't get it to work.
                                      Someone who wants to help.
                                      I need the parts to be connected and when a cylinders move like a slider, the rest of the parts have to follow.

                                      Kinde regards and thanks,

                                      Bert.

                                        Even after copying, the issue still persists. Moving some split shapes toward the center, the original position where they fell through the mesh, made them fall through again. Hate to say that, but it's the bug of the physics engine that MSPhysics is using. Until the physics engine is updated, this is how it will remain and even for the upcoming version 1.0.0. To fix it, have the floor shape be a static box, or a static compound. Or just ensure that the objects don't fall at those places.

                                        So, you export replay into images and some images remain undesirably the same for 5 consequent frames? Is that what it is? Could I have a test model? You could PM it to me if you want to.

                                          Hallo Anton. Thanks for your explanation.
                                          Here is a picture sequence with the problem. It usually happens in fast motion sequences, as if MSPhysics tries to run the simulation in real time. For games and the like it is certainly useful, but for a video recording are missing some phases of some objects.
                                          Unfortunately the model is currently under construction. I am trying to optimize and combine motion sequences and motion modes. If it works again, I can send it to you.

                                            Here is the hydraulic torque wrench with MSPhysics:
                                            delchrys - hydraulic torque wrench.skp
                                            The center of rotation might need some adjusting but it works as good as the model is.

                                            Regards,
