A good start would probably be to use the Solidworks to PyChrono pipeline. Not that you have to, but it could give you a jump start.

From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Siddharth L Sent: Monday, September 29, 2025 7:22 AM To: ProjectChrono <[email protected]> Subject: [chrono] Help Needed to create the Mechanism I want to model a mechanism (see attached image) with the following setup: * Body 1 and Body 2 are in contact, and Body 3 is an arm connected to the mechanism. * I want to pull the end of Body 3 at a constant speed of 30 mm/s. * While pulling, I need to track the force (magnitude and direction) at the pulling point until Body 1 and Body 2 slip relative to each other. * A constant 100 N force is applied to Body 1, trying to rotate it counterclockwise (CCW). Could you guide me on how to create the basic shapes for these bodies in PyChrono and how to simulate this pulling motion and measure the reaction force?
