@ Omni, ur 3d looks good!!,

Well, but I'm telling you that under these conditions it (by 'it' I mean the system that I can show you) does work. Therefore, using your logic, if it works under these conditions, cutting out a lot of deadwood, there's a chance to work in the real world.

Yes. but only a chance. Any balanced system once energised runs, under ideal conditions (ie. no opposing forces) forever. That does not mean it runs in the real world. As we go down the track with our investigation we throw things at it that the real world does in increasing intensity and see what it does.

This method of investigation in unique to simulation and an extra tool. No more than that. In the end the only thing of any value is a working prototype, I realise this.

But why throw away a method of inquiry? As far as I can see this is a perfectly valid approach.

I think I know what you mean.
So - this time I give you a separate single groove plus center hole (just for alignment), by two dxf-files with different export options..

If you can import one of these this files (closed outline shape of the groove), you should be able to dublicate this item inside wm2d.

!! â€" I won't give up untill this 'error' is solved â€" !!

Edit: I've put one file more "expand.dxf" into the zip.

Thanks, bud. Too bad didn't listen to you and didn't do it in SolidEdge which can export it in dxf. SolidWorks is great but having it as a dxf isn't an option there and one needs an add-on which I don't have.

@ruggero,

Sadly, same error with all three. Could it be that the dxf generated by a Mac differs from a PC-generated dxf? Will have to see how this can be done in SolidEdge 2D and redraw it there.
