Animation in Inventor

[IronHorse]

I try to make animation in Inventor studio, I have understood most things

but how do i make rotation or revolution of some component. Have tried for hours

but no sucess?? The two fields are dimmed out cant give any value.

Usually it involves animating an angular constraint. Do you have any angular constraints in the assembly? Upload screenshot or assembly with part files...

No my assembly was initially a multisolid, I create an assembly from the multisolid (make parts) and now they are only grounded to each other. Must I create angular constrain to make

rotation happen?

Have you gone through the Inventor Tutorials

Either unground and use assembly cosntraints then Animate Constraint

or

unground assembly and Animate component and click on the triad icon.

When you create an assembly from a multi-body solid, there are no actual constraints set up initially, the parts are just grounded. (Note: they're not grounded relative to each other, they're just grounded at that point in space, period.) If you want them to move or whatever, then yes - you need to un-ground at least one piece and set up constraints.
