Unable to mate component

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am finding some difficulties doing the assembly. It keeps saying the joint cannot revolute at certain position. 

I so kept changing the links length. Anyone know how to fix it ?

PS I attach the file of my project

Step 1.  Make these two faces zero degrees in alignment.

Your parts don't line up, way back here.....

Alright I will try to do that 
thank you

I still have the same problem

(First Component put into the file, is not aligned to it's own Origin.)

Step 2.  This is not aligned either.

Hi 

Thank you for replying.

I aligned the ring to its origin, and also aligned the two faces you mention in the previous response. However I still can't assemble the end of the link to the ring

For Revolute Joints, all of the parts must align perfect, I prefer checkingface to face, and tracked down that component in error, but did not find any others until this one was fixed.  

i can check the file - later today, will see what else might be causing it.

Hi,

Alright. Thanks again for the help

Close - must be perfect, in this pic

Number 1 part is the correct one, (Checked it)

Number 2 part is still off line.

Might help.....

More checking, and Align to Origin is not going to fix this,

Sorry I can't rebuild this Component, I need the radius of this circle, and the thread details.

Might help....

The radius is 30 mm 

below the thread details

honestly, something with involved joints like this is generally easier when built in place, and then jointed with "as built" joints instead.

(helps when the geometry is correct also of course.)

Here's an example, I suppose this is where your headed-

All those position captures and grounding, un-grounding features in your timeline isn't doing you any favors either.  those will frequently confuse the issue and sometimes cause things to not work.  you end up chasing your tail.

I attached the model in case you want to peak at it.  construction methodology is different (mostly to make modeling faster), but same idea.

I see. 

Alright I will  redo it and make it much more simpler. 

Thank you
