thread connection in assembly

[Anonymous]

I want to put a threaded bolt in a threaded hole, until the bolt comes in contact with the bottom of the hole in .iam file. does anyone did that before ? please help

Mate or mate with offset or Insert with offset.

Attach your assembly here.

easiest is just an "insert" constraint using the bottom of the bolt and the bottom of the hole.

I NEVER use mate with bolts/screws,etc.. just more work. 1 insert and done

I have to type detailed issue. I create the thread on both sides (bolt and hole) with coil. In .iam I've put with 'mate' the bottom flnge of bolt thread with top flange of hole thread ; and also axial align. Now if I turn the bolt this move also in  thread direction. I want this bolt to touch the bottom of the hole as constraint along with others described above. Thank you for your help. Your support is much appreciated.

Use a mate (with constraint limits to define its min/max) on the bottom face of the bolt tip and the bottom of the hole.

Or use contact solver.
