Very interesting to know that FreeCAD's assembly is here closer the mechanical principle connection that we learn in school. Using the last stable release I was wondering why FreeCAD uses local systems and not like Inventor or SolidWorks the connections with freedom degrees ! So with this tutorial you brought the answer. Thank you. 👍
Yes, current released FreeCad version is still using very old school LCS approach which is a real hassle. Watch some of my previous FreeCad assembly videos and you will understand. With FreeCad ver 22 things going to improve.
The connecting rod is attached to the crankshaft. When the crankshaft rotates, the connecting rod will collide with the shaft. See 19 min 50 sec. Best regards
@@cadzis673 I understand. You are doing a good job and I thank you very much for that. Just move the shaft to the left so that it does not collide with the connecting rod. Best regards
I cannot move (drag) a part in the assembly with the left mouse button to spread parts of each other. Can you give a solution to slide a part as you do ? Thank you
Have you activated the assembly... that may be the problem... Watch my videos carefully. If the assembly is not activated... then click on it again to activate. Hope this help.
@@cadzis673 The reason is we have to move the parts in two steps, the first one is to move it under the file of the assembly and move once again this time under the Assembly node. And I forgot the second and last step. 😆

this is just to demonstrate the kinematics of FreeCad Assembly workbench. Thanks for pointing out this... I will fix it.

Where can I try Assembly Workbench ? I try only A2plus, Assembly 3 and Assembly 4. Tank You.
Sorry. I have seen only now it is on Freecad 0.22. Bye

But rotation of this mechanism is not possible! Try to fix it. Best regards!
It can be rotated
It is possible to rotate. Watch the video again
