Challenge

Week 11 - 3D Contacts

Procedure

Use the previous challenges file containing elliptical cam-follower setup
Now we have to do contact modeling between the follower and cam

Change density if needed (while importing )

Graphics then click mesh to observe mesh

Select contacts
Select rigid to rigid contact

Select follower and cam as the bodies for contact
Go to contact property editor
And activate dynamic friction accross

Leave all other properties as it is



This indicates that both the cam and roller are in 3D rigid contacts

Run the setting and generate graph

Graph is flated out as the simulations is throwing the follower during simulations resulting in exponentially high value at end , thus scaling the graph on much bigger factor
