Mating conditions - what are implicit overrides?

Mating conditions - what are implicit overrides?

Mating conditions - what are implicit overrides?

(OP)
One of our NX users has just imported a large (ish) assembly from one of our other divisions in India. When he has then revised the assembly and gone to mate some new components in, he has noticed that there are a whole bunch of mating condtions there with (implicit override) - as shown in the image - next to them. They don't appear to be doing anything, however they can't be deleted. From what I can gather, they are there for information only, however is anyone could shed a little momre light on what these actually are and what we can do with them, we wold be most grateful.

P.s It looks as though they can just be filtered out and other new mating condtions added, is this the case.

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards

RE: Mating conditions - what are implicit overrides?

Deformable parts/flexible components in the assembly that have been deformed.

Or a mating override.   Example:   Adding a hydraulic cylinder to an assembly, where the cylinder is fully mated in its own assembly.   When adding it to a main assembly, you would want to mate the base end to something and the rod end to something.   To get the rod end to extend, you can override the mating of the cylinder itself so that in the main assembly the rod end can be mated in the main assembly, resulting in overriding mating.

All of the above an I'd probably check whether you could throw in Arrangement specific suppressed constraints.
