Solidworks Labview integration

[Rosu]

Hello!

I'm currently working on a project where we want to connect our logisticsprogram to a solidworksmodel to simulate how it would look in real life. Couse labview only controls the motors in the solidworks assambly I have to use 3d contact to lift a pallet with a forklift. 3d contact simulates two solids that works like in real life. When I run the simulation in Solidworks the contact works just fine after some settingproblem, but when I'm trying to do tha same movement with my labview testprogram the model seems to ignore the settings I just made and does not get a smooth movement. Se for your self in the video below.

For more details what the settings where and better description of the project visit my solidworks fail thread:

Are you moving a forklift with directly setting velocity, force, or just by pushing it to subsequent positions?

Here is the code that I'm using. I'm only interested in axis 1 at the moment because thats the axis that moves the fork up and down. The other axis is for the forward motion and I don't change it's position value when running the program.
