- Animate Constraints is used to animate constrained parts for assemblies. We just got done showing an example of, when we have an unconstrained part, how you can animate it. Now we're going to show you how you can animate a component when it has constraints applied to it. We're going to go into our Environments Tab. Go to Inventor Studio. If you remember, that hatch that we showed earlier was fully constrained. If I look at that hatch, we're going to look and find that hatch in our browser. If I hit the plus sign in front of the hatch. You're going to see the different constraints that were used. We inserted the handle, we inserted those pins in there, and then we have an angle constraint which is actually making the lid closed right now. As you can see, starting at zero degrees. I always try to look for and find the constraints in advance before I start working with the Animation tools. Now that we've seen that, we're going to go up into our Animate Panel, and we're going to select…
