Tangent face mating
Tangent face mating
(OP)
Hi,
how do I mate the face cone on the cylinder with the sphere and the hole of the sensor?
The sphere must tangent to the face cone and coaxial.
The sphere must tangent with the edge of the hole and coaxial.
I attach assembly and image.
Thank you...

RE: Tangent face mating
perfect.
John...I need to understand better touch and align.
With yours examples I think that align is used to align geometry axis or point in the sphere case between them and touch used to create contact from external geometry.
Sincerely I would like an improvement as I attach...to understand better which geometry is concerned or to deselect directly.

RE: Tangent face mating
I'm trying with the original assembly, but I'm not able to do.
I attach the real assembly.
I would like that the component 4_109585_00 coincident to the sphere.
Thank you...

That being said, if you need the assembly Parts List to reflect that, despite the fact that an item may appear twice in the Assembly structure, it will only appear ONCE in the Part List itself, that can be accomplished without much hassle.

BTW, if you are having problems getting small parts, like the ball bearings, to properly constrain, start off with them near where their final position/location will be (just drag them around until they are close, which you can do while you're in the Assembly Constraints dialog by just place your cursor over the component, pressing MB1 and dragging the component).

RE: Tangent face mating
thank you.
I see you have add two properties to one component.
CALLOUT e DB_COMP_HANDLE.
The purpose of the two properties and their relative value.

RE: Tangent face mating
To simplify my assembly, assume that I need to mate a sphere (such as a ball bearing) with a countersunk hole where I should get a line of contact in the shape of a circle.
I've tried mating, align, and tangent but nothing thus far as achieved the desired result.
Any tips?
Thanks,
Richard

RE: Tangent face mating
For some reason when I used 'Mate' the sphere shot through the plane even after I backed it off away from the plane but I tried using 'Tangent' instead and it worked fine.
I don't know why it would matter but I actually have a cylinder with a spherical end but it seemed like it was trying to mate it tangent to the back side of the "sphere" but in my case the back side doesn't exist... Oh well.
