      </table><br><p class="para_topic">Use <b class="uiTerm">Rotary Cam</b> to define the motion of your contact driven Rotary Cams. As the kinematics to move a cam along its axis is not a  part of the original press model, you must define it. Identify the cam, the cam drive and the axis of movement, and the  software calculates and stores the kinematics needed to simulate the Rotary Cam. Each currently defined <b class="uiTerm">Rotary Cam</b> is listed in  the dialog box, and you can edit or delete it whenever necessary.
      </p>
      <p class="para_topic">The cam and cam drive should already be mounted (generally to the Slide and the Bolster respectively) so that NX can determine the contact driven motion that results from the drive hitting the cam.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">You must also identify any tooling attached to the cam as part of the cam, so that they move in unison.</p>
