Hi,
I was wondering if anybody could help me? what I'm trying to do is simulate through Mechanism something similar to a flexible brake cable on a bicycle.
Say for example, I have a lever attached to one end of a moving mechanism, and a cable attached to this lever to operate it..
Essentially, what I want to do is "attach" the outer casing of the cable to the mechanism, so when the mechaism moves, the cable moves too. And when I pull the other end of the cable, the lever movesin the same way no matter what position or motion the mechanism is in.
I have been playing around with 2 slot follower connections to a flexible 3d curve with a constant distance between the two points but havent go it to work.
Thanks for your help,
James
