To Consider
Rotating the cam by "hand" (entering a new slope and re-solving) is fairly tedious. It should be simple to write a macro to do this.
Try this example with pd_resolve_merge_tolerance set to the default value (1E-6). Rotate the cam until the follower comes to rest at the very top of the cam profile. What happens with the very next rotation?
Try to replicate this example without using rigid bodies. How many constraints are needed? How would you force the hatching on the cam to rotate along with the elements?
