Dynamic Balls

The original project showcased a dynamic simulation with Autodesk Inventor 2014, featuring two balls launched by gravitation through a tube in a funnel. The clip was created using the Inventor Studio module and displayed the interaction between the balls. An alternative version of the clip, including traces but with lower resolution, is available here: https://youtu.be/jeVNlseOz_c. At the end, the second ball (red) collides with the first (green), transferring energy that propels the first to the funnel wall and the second out, taking the lead. The simulation's settings, found in .iam and .ipt files, can be adjusted using Inventor. The project's unique aspect was transferring dynamics from Dynamic Simulation to Inventor Studio, resulting in a larger (22.3 MB) .iam file due to embedded movie data.
