Cam motion simulation with external load

      I need calculate torque for cam motor to push an block/object under exgernal load. I attached simlified example.

      For cam shaft and fixed body i used rotary joint, for movable block and fixed base i used general joint with one free axis. For cam and block used contact, and fixed body and ground joint. But friction and remote force has no effect on result torque on cam shaft.

      What wrong in my approach?

      Hi,

      Can you please share snapshots of your setup? Also, in case you are using Rigid Body Dynamic analysis then can you try ysing a transient structural analysis instead?

      Regards,
