How to make the small ball slide into the groove in Simscape multibody

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user encountering a simulation error in Simscape Multibody while trying to make a small ball slide into a groove within a mechanism. The error message indicates a "position violation," suggesting that the model is not properly assembled. Participants suggest that synchronizing the movements of the disk and lever is crucial for resolving the issue, particularly considering the rotational dynamics involved. A video was shared to illustrate the inter-dependence of the mechanism's components, emphasizing the complexity of the quick return mechanism. The user seeks further assistance to manipulate the software effectively and resolve the simulation problem.

TL;DR Summary
I have an issue in making the small ball slide into the groove
Good day All!
I have a problem , I could do almost all the mechanism, my problem is how to make slide the little ball into the groove. whenever i run the program i got the follwing error message
['rotating_groove_cylinder_good_trial']: The following errors were found in the model rotating_groove_cylinder_good_trial.
Caused by:
['rotating_groove_cylinder_good_trial/Solver Configuration']: *** Model not assembled: position violation *** Resolve this issue in order to simulate the model.

the wheel rotates around a fixed hinge.
I have joined the program file,
Many thanks in advance

It seems that the system is asking you to synchronize the movement of the disk and the lever, both rotational and linearly.
That Vo of the center of the disk greatly complicates things in this case, unless its value is small compared to the rotational velocities.

 
Thank you, consider is 0 as the disk is rotating around the center O. how can we solve it?
thank you
 
I don't know how to manipulate any software, sorry for not being able to help more.
I just added a video to my previous post, which shows the close inter-dependence of both members, being this a quick return mechanism.
 
thank you for your help!

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'
I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...
After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
