CatiaV5 movement analysis

Hi, I would like constraint an assembly and then when I move a component, move the others components constrained.
I´m using SOLIDWORKS and it works precfectly. Now I´m practicing with CATIA V5 and I find it very hard to use.
Can Anyone help me?
The product is an axle puller and I upload to show you.

Hello xabier,

Kindly find attached image for your reference.

The reason you was not able to move the part, was because FIX constrain given in beginning & it was stopping you to move the part. If everything if constrained as per your need, i would suggest you to take fix component out of Constrains. Also, Click On "With respect to constraints" when using manipulation command in catia.

To add more, you can use & try crash : Stop manipulate on Crash (Image step_3 in attachment). For the same, initially assembly should not be inside each other. You can try same if require.

Hello Dipak,
Thank you very much. Another question, is possible give a tangent or contact constraint between part 2 and part 3 to simulate how the parts 3 move when I up and down the part 2?
Thank you again

Hello xabier,

As far as i have used, you can make same thing in DMU Kinematics in CATIA but in assembly, Tangent & with respect to Part movement is not possible as per my experience.
