How to make the small ball slide into the groove in Simscape multibody

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user encountering a simulation error in Simscape Multibody while trying to make a small ball slide into a groove within a mechanism. The error message indicates a "position violation," suggesting that the model is not properly assembled. Participants suggest that synchronizing the movements of the disk and lever is crucial for resolving the issue, particularly considering the rotational dynamics involved. A video was shared to illustrate the inter-dependence of the mechanism's components, emphasizing the complexity of the quick return mechanism. The user seeks further assistance to manipulate the software effectively and resolve the simulation problem.

TL;DR Summary
I have an issue in making the small ball slide into the groove
Good day All!
I have a problem , I could do almost all the mechanism, my problem is how to make slide the little ball into the groove. whenever i run the program i got the follwing error message
['rotating_groove_cylinder_good_trial']: The following errors were found in the model rotating_groove_cylinder_good_trial.
Caused by:
['rotating_groove_cylinder_good_trial/Solver Configuration']: *** Model not assembled: position violation *** Resolve this issue in order to simulate the model.

the wheel rotates around a fixed hinge.
I have joined the program file,
Many thanks in advance

It seems that the system is asking you to synchronize the movement of the disk and the lever, both rotational and linearly.
That Vo of the center of the disk greatly complicates things in this case, unless its value is small compared to the rotational velocities.

 
Thank you, consider is 0 as the disk is rotating around the center O. how can we solve it?
thank you
 
I don't know how to manipulate any software, sorry for not being able to help more.
I just added a video to my previous post, which shows the close inter-dependence of both members, being this a quick return mechanism.
 
thank you for your help!

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
