Solid Edge Parts in Animation keep moving after motor has finished

Summary


Details

Some parts in an animation are driven by a motor, but are not stopping at the 
latest position when the motor has finished. Why?



Solution

This is caused by using "ranged" relationships (e.g. distance). When the motor 
has finished, there is no more action or relation which is defining the 
position, so the part can move within this range again. This can result in 
unwanted moves if multiple motors are active.


The solution is to change the "ranged" relation to a "fixed" one, and to apply 
the motor directly to the variable of this fixed relation instead of working on 
the part. Consequently the motor and the relation are "bound together", and the 
part will stop moving if the motor stops working.
