Force drive to move vertical chain
Hello, is it possible to control chain with "Force Drive"? I need to prepare a device which transport load/MUs on shelves arranged in vertical chain. If there is some load on shelves and drive torque is 0, it will move/fall down according
to gravity. On the oder hand, chain is "balanced" if all shelves are empty and will not move even if torque on drive is 0. Is it possible to simulate such device?
Answer
Hi,
the current chain only functions with the drive component set to “virtual,” as configured in the sample scene. Using this setup, you should be able to build your device, and Unity physics should operate correctly in this case.
Yes, I used it with the drive component set to "virtual". I can move the shelves up and down with this drive. But I cannot simulate the situation where the loaded shelves are raised, the drive is switched off and the brake is not closed. In such a situation in a real machine, the shelves will fall down spontaneously - due to the load and gravity.
