Interference Mates? (Do we have them)

Interference Mates? (Do we have them)

Interference Mates? (Do we have them)

(OP)
I have an assembly that can rotate around an axis and it has 2 adjustabe stops.  Is there a way to set a mate so that the assembly will stop when it contacts the adjustable stops?  Kind of like an "interference mate".  I do not want to use an angle mate because the stops are adjustable bolt heads and if we need to adjust them I do not want to have to go back and adjust the angle mates.

Thanks,
BB

Nope, you can try a limit mate, but the only way to get what you're asking for is to do a Move with Physical Dynamics on.

can you drive the angle mate using the position of the head of the bolts ??
