run animation

Hello! I have created an animation called "Tightening" but I am not too sure how to apply it to the robot in the 3D model. When I run the 3D model, the pre-existing animation for the previous robot is the one that is playing. The robot that I want to apply the animation to is "KUKA Robot" and the animation ("Tightening") is under the tab "Robot1".

I have attached some images easy reference. Unfortunately, I am unable to attach my file as the size of the file is too large, sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you! :)

It is still the same approach as with your last robot.

You say "pre-existing animation" - is that one you've created? The default robot doesn't have a pre-existing animation - it's movements for by default are based on the Motion Mode setting here:

Perhaps motion paths is what you're looking for. Here's the documentation and within it a link to motion paths.

Hi @jason.lightfoot when I say "pre-existing animation" I meant the default movements of the robot that I used to replace with the shape of my current robot. To simplify, the robot (Kuka Robot) that I have imported into the system did not adopt the animation "tightening". As when I run my 3D Model, some other movements are shown instead of the animation that I created. Thank you so much for your help! :)

The question is how are you getting the robot to move? How is it activated in the model? Have you read the documentation link already?

If you can share the model it will make things easier to understand and diagnose, and we can explain in relation to your configuration.

Hi @jason.lightfoot, I have just emailed the file to you so hopefully you will be able to access the model and have a better idea of what I am trying to accomplish. Thank you!
