Hello,
can someone help me with my problem in Adams View. I am simulating two finger robot gripper. I am simulating it on the cube. Now I want to parametrize that cube to be able to move it on x, y and z. i want also to be able to rotate cube.

An alternative to a sensor is to use general constraints. Then you can build in the time dependency in the functions.

For example, a fixed joint can be replaced by six GCONs:

GCON/111, I=2, FUNC=DX(2,3)

GCON/112, I=2, FUNC=DY(2,3)

GCON/113, I=2, FUNC=DZ(2,3)

GCON/114, I=2, FUNC=AX(2,3)

GCON/115, I=2, FUNC=AY(2,3)

GCON/116, I=2, FUNC=AZ(2,3)

If you want to make these time dependent, for example turn off at t=6, change the functions so that they are automatically zero after t=6:

GCON/111, I=2, FUNC=DX(2,3)*IF(time-6:1,1,0)

GCON/112, I=2, FUNC=DY(2,3)*IF(time-6:1,1,0)

GCON/113, I=2, FUNC=DZ(2,3)*IF(time-6:1,1,0)

GCON/114, I=2, FUNC=AX(2,3)*IF(time-6:1,1,0)

GCON/115, I=2, FUNC=AY(2,3)*IF(time-6:1,1,0)

GCON/116, I=2, FUNC=AZ(2,3)*IF(time-6:1,1,0)
