Tying mechanized assemblies together
Tying mechanized assemblies together
(OP)
A collegue of mine has been using mechanized assemblies to model various parts of a piece of equipment (chassis / electical / hydraulic). After assembling each of these assemblies together, the underlying mechanized "skeleton" does not move the assemlies together ie: the chassis will move, but not the elect or hyd. How can this be fixed?

RE: Tying mechanized assemblies together
For example, if you are assembling a hydraulic cylinder to a plate, you could use regular assembly constraints to place the cylinder. However, you need to make sure that your "Component References" do not reference any moving part(s). If you do this, Pro/E will consider these two components to be part of the same body, and thus they will not be able to move.
The correct thing to do in this case would be to create all of the constraints between the assembly and the ground body on the component (i.e. the cylinder body).
Hope it made sense. All we had was decaf this morning, so forgive me if it doesn't.
