Problem with slide

Anonymous — Wed, 26 Aug 2015 19:20:58 GMT

Hello!

I have been trying for a while now to get a sliding fuction to work.

ITs the grey here I try to slide, and then make them stop at the ends.

Now when i try to move the blue circle this happens:

The onlye thing i have done to this now is that the grey are constrained to the blue circle.

So any solution on how i can fix this?

are you just using constraints or are you going to use this in an fea analysis?

Can you attach your assembly here?

Since you are using 2016 I can not view the file unfortunately. If you are using just assembly constrains you can apply a range restriction on the constraint. In the constraint window next to 'Apply' there is '<<' button. Click this and the limits can be added there.

What software program are you using to get *.rar? Is this a free program?

You are more likely to get response if you use Windows to compress the files.

Machine.ipt and Slide.ipt are missing.

Several other files (not needed) are attached.

Here's a new file set (2016 data).

You can move 3 sliders by grabbing the red part.

Don't forget to add some real-world clearances between parts - can't manufacture perfect parts, and even if we could they would not slide due to friction.

Thanks for the headsup JDMather, know all about clearances, and it can be some pain..
