len Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'm trying to create a dynamic simulation of a simplified vehicle with wheels. I'm using Hinged constraints to connect spinning wheels to the body, and that works fine, but now can't quite figure out how to actually implement steering on the front wheel. That is, I'm using a hinge contraint along x for the primary rotation of the wheel but then need to be able to swivel that same wheel about a constant up (y) axis for the steering right and left. I've played around with various goal configurations but I'm stumped. It seems like it's got to be a pretty simple system to set up...right? I've attached a simple Houdini file with my 'motorcycle'. Ideally there's one spare channel for steering direction and the solver takes care of the rest. Any help is appreciated! File is H9 Apprentice. PS: Sorry for those noticing this duplicated at sidefx but I didn't get any takers over there and OdForce people are smarter. : ) motorCycleDOPNet.hipnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
