Mate question

[Sripri]

Hi,
I need to model a wheel and surface (like a car wheel and road). But, I want to wheel to be in contact with surface and should only rotate and not slide. I tried tangential mate using spline surface. While the wheel rotates when I pull around its circumference, it is possible that I can make it slide on the surface. Can I achieve what I expect to do ?. Basically I am looking for the wheel to rol on the surface without slip. Thanks.

You need to use a fit spline on the wheel outside surface... then use a Cam mate in the assembly... I think that will work.
