Mate limits
Mate limits
(OP)
Hi all,
I have another question about mates. Is it possible to create mate limits in an angle? I have a shaft that turns in a coupling sleeve. This sleeve has a slot where the shaft pin slides. This slot limits the movement in 90 degrees. Any idea?
Thanks again,
Fabio Pereira

RE: Mate limits
The only way I think you can kinda do this is to mate everything as you would normally and use collision detection to stop the pin on a move drag. If you also have a couple of configurations with the pin mated at either end of the slot (and maybe one in the middle) it usually works for most purposes. We do something similar with a mechanism design tool.
