Help Mating Two Faces

Anonymous — Mon, 25 May 2020 20:51:17 GMT

Hi all,

I’m used to using Inventor where they had the mate feature to connect two faces. How could I use fusion 360 to mate these two highlighted faces so that they can both still move independently while maintaining contact between their faces? Thanks!

Each one must be a component, then placed in an assembly. You do not say their condition so I have to state the obvious. One will be Grounded and then use a Planar joint between the two faces. Attach your model and the forum users will be happy to help.

To add further explanation to the answer provided by jhackney1972 for us complete noobs:

Select the Joint (J) command from the assembly ribbon. In the 'Motion' tab, change the default 'Rigid' to 'Planar'; once selected, return to the 'Position' tab of the Joint assembly tool and select the two faces to be "mated".
