@mondrasek,

Thank you very much for your willingness to help in sorting out the issues with WM2D. Could you please remove the motor in @Cherryman's KAD9 and KAD10 and replace it by a pin. How do you actually do that? Thanks in advance.

Omni, could you post where they are or re-post them?  I want to make sure I change the specific ones you want.  I also don't want to search and reread the entire thread looking for them.

M.

@Omnibus
I was not serious, I could not care less who gets it first as long as we get it. Actually Cherryman thought of a curving ramp, and I thought of the inside outside path... Both seem incorrect at this time but looking at Grimers link I must say

@Grimer
VERY INTERESTING

@Omnibus

Open the model
Click on the motor to select it
Hit the delete key (motor disappears)
Go to the left and select a pin (green circle)
Go back to where themotor was and single click to drop the pin wm2d will indicate the center of the object with "X"

Now you have replaced the motor with a pin.

KAD9 with pin attached

What do you wish to be done to KAD10? (The motor is not attached to the wheel in KAD10)

@AquariuZ,

Thanks a lot. I tried KAD9 but it's acting weird. One would expect a clockwise turn but it's turning counter clockwise. As for KAD10, I though @Cherryman said it has a motor. Otherwise, if it's freewheeling, then that's it.

I'm zeroing out all velocities in Properties but it keeps turning couter clockwise nevertheless.

I notice it keeps reverting to V0 = 1 rad/s. How can I zero out everything, keep it that way and have it as a default?

The motor in KAD10 is in the small wheel to the side.  It is "geared" to the big wheel to drive it.  I have removed.

Motor removed file attached.

I must say your models look very very good.

Thanks for the hard work and sharing

Besides the motor in KAD9, Cherryman also assigned a rotation of 1 rad/sec to the main wheel element (didn't know you could do that).  I have removed both and the altered file is attached.

Agreed!  Your learning curve with WM2D was alarmingly fast.

@mondrasek,

Thanks a lot. However, if that's freewheeling, then it seems to work just fine, unless there's still someting hidden which acts as a motor. Can you check it out? Thanks. (see attached)

Omnibus what's with the masonic quote? That was free masonery wasn't it, the part about the alpha and omega and the traveler?

"Orffyreus commented that when the secret is revealed, he is afraid that people will complain that the idea is so simple it is not worth the asking price.

This latter comment has been echoed by Sjack Abeling."

Hey guess what Grimer, a lot has been echoed by Sjack Abeling.

Sure, you know the post where you asked aquariuz if he was a fellow traveler following a star in a desert for 40 days, since he had the alpha and omega in his name. That was you wasn't it?
