Hello, I am new to the forums but have a few years running NX. This is a great place with a wealth of information.
My question is, what would be the optimal connection for two horizontal plates (one with a though hole for the pin/threaded portion and the other on top resting on the pin). The plate is sitting on top of four of these adjustable pins for plate height adjustment while four inner bolts keep it locked in place. The load is applied on the top plate. I have the inner bolts connected using the typical spider/CBEAM connection, but was wondering how you would go about making the contact for a flat plat resting on a rod/pin. Would a spider on the bottom plate with a Point to Face connection connecting the other plate? Could I just divide the face with the diameter of the pin and then spider the divided circular section? The pin would need to be Free to move in any DOF except vertical obviously.
Thanks!
