How to write design variables into a joint motion function with python.

Question

In the included code, the last line is giving me a problem. In the motion function, I need to insert the design variables.

The division part of the motion function really wants to look like this:

(mod.DesignVariables['DesignBasis'].value[0]/mod.DesignVariables['Cycle'].value[0])

I can't seem to be able to figure out how to pass these variables. I have tried f strings among other things and the script keeps failing. Any thoughts?

Hi Todd,

Here's how you should define the function expression for the motion:

'time*(DesignBasis)/(Cycle)'

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
