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!

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
