Slot assembly

[jerome.duverger]

Hi guys,

I can't figure out how to put the cilinder in the slot (two different part in assembly). In the slot it must be able do rotation and 1d translate If i use the planar joint it doesn't allow me to put limits in place (they turn grey and I can't filll anything in). How can I constrain this in assembly?

Thanks in advance,

Hi!

• Create a constraint to constrain vertical movement between both parts.
• Create a mate between the slide axis and slot plane, as in the image below
• Create a contact set for both parts (Green squares in the image)
• Activate the contact solver in Inspect tab

Here you have the files...

Hi,
Sometimes using Contact Analysis can slow down the simulation a lot.

You can also consider the option of setting the ranges of parameter changes when applying assembly constraines

See the video.

Thanks both of you.
