Interface between SimMechanics and SimDriveline

Hi,

I'm trying to model with simulink a sheave with a mass connected to one side of the rope. The other side of the rope is grounded. The rotating center of the pulley have to to move in one direction so that the load goes up or down compared to the ground. With belt pulley block in simdriveline I modeled the sheave, the mass and all the joints. Now I' m trying to connecto S port of the pulley block to a SimMechanics body to manage the motion of the pulley. I have conncted a "Revolute rotational interface" connecting the F port to the S port of pulley, the B port to a Mechanical rotational reference, the R port to a revolute joint in simmechanics that is connected to a body that can translate. The simulation don't show any error but moving the body along the translation axis the mass connected to the pulley is steady to the initial position. I suppose that there's something wrong in the connection interface between simdriveline's blocks and simmechanic's block. Can anyone help me to understand how it works? Where's the error?

Thank You AL

Your description sounds like you are doing the right thing. We would need more details... maybe share the model or at least a screenshot?

Curious, did you get this figured out?
