Plane Crank Slide with Pendulum

Original project made with Autodesk Inventor 2014 as a Dynamic Simulation. Besides the gravity force, the action is due to a imposed motion applied to the Crank Wheel - 27.5 rot/min (180 deg/s). The simulation does not include any friction.
The action is obvious: the Crank Wheel rotates with a forced and constant momentum, and it impose the slide of the Sliding Lever; this is the cause for pendulum oscillation. You'll see tat, after a while, the movement of the pendulum is a full revolution. Everything is governed by the rules of Dynamics, but for us the movement seems to be random.
If you use Inventor, you have to download all the files in a single directory, then open the .iam file with Inventor 2014, 2015..., enter Environments/Dynamic Simulation and click on Play button. Instead of 12000 images you can apply 2400 images if you have to wait too much for the simulation.
Enjoy!
