Tutorial to create a revolute joint in Catia V5?

1. Step 1:

   Prepare such models in advance as shown to create a revolute joint between them.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Now start with the DMU Kinematics workbench
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Insert ->existing component-> select the files
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Insert->new mechanism
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Select revolute joint as shown in the figure. See the mouse pointer
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Fill the respective areas accordingly.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   You can change the offset values by clicking on the value
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Click on "Update positions" to update the mechanism
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Select a fixed part.In this case it is the cylinder. You can do this step at the very beginning also.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    You will get a pop up dilog box indicating that the mechanism can be simulated now.
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Click on "simulation with commands"
    

    

12. Step 12:

    Now you can perform the simulation by changing the position and then clicking on the play button.
