Spring Washer Joint

Hello everyone,

 

How do you go about setting a rigid joint when you use a spring washer (from McMaster)?

 

Unlike the others I've used Fusion can't seem to 'lock-on' to a face of the washer

 

Thanks

Matt

Create a sketch in the imported part component. Project the washer to the sketch (or just create some geometry in the sketch).  Create a joint origin on the sketch geometry.  Create the rigid joint.

Hi EtsFrench,

 

I see where you going here, because the spring washer has no 'real' flat surface just pick the highest point as it were for the projection and go from there.

 

Nice call thanks

Matt
