Dear Members , I am trying to do motion on the given model two motors i created to moved the platform ups and down , meanwhile when top platform reach bottom the car should move on upper platform and move it the car to certain height . Kindly need guidance Thank you ---

What are you trying to achieve? Is it just a quick animation? Or does it need to be a detail motion study? ---

i took a look on your files.. A few comment: 1. Try to avoid mechanical mate and advance mate like slot and cam if possible, especially when you need to use contact in motion study 2. (I might be wrong but…) Mirror component often cause issue in motion study because of how solidworks rebuild mirror component, avoid mirror component if possible 3. If your analysis/simulation allow, you can combine your “car” into a single part to simplify the simulation If you just need a simple animation, you can do a quick and dirty workaround where you have a continuous surface in your top moving part that is created with fit spline together with a tangent mate. You can hide the surface so that it is not visible in your animation. (Generally, i try to avoid contact whenever possible when it comes to animation) image.png See gif below for a quick animation: animation-1.gif Edit-01: Apparently i submitted too quickly and the the SWX file had not been properly uploaded. Re-attach the SWx file ---

how can i do this part " If your analysis/simulation allow, you can combine your “car” into a single part to simplify the simulation" Thank you ---

> [@](#): > > this step is confusing extrude surface Hello Assis, it’s actually exactly what I would have done, using “FitSpline” you create a continous surface for the wheels to track along. ---
