In this video I'm modelling a swiss lever escapement mechanism. I used the model of the balance wheel from my previous video and added the other bodies as rigid or quasi-rigid bodies. The pallet fork is only modelled with quasi-rigid shell elements at the upper part where the notch hits the lever and at the pallets. After that I attached a display body to it for visual clarity.
I used the same implicit steps as in my previous video. Contacts are only defined between the necessary step and surfaces which are betwen the balance wheel's notch and the pallet fork's upper region and between the pallet fork's jewels and the escapement wheel. These contacts are frictionless with damping.
If you look closely you can see that the escapement wheel doesn't have much torque. I only defined a small amount because more will complicate the model to the point where I run out of computational power.
