Hi All,

Is that okay to restrain the seconadry datum feature to the satated force.
As per my understabning, when secondary datum feature is reatined to the stated force, it may not make the sufficient contact with the datum feature simulator. the exactent of contact depends on the what is the primary datum feature and what is seconadry datum feature. In some cases, the secondary datum feature may have a single point contact when DRF is established. However the part may flex and make enough contact. But this is little confusing for me. Could anyone please suggest me, is that okay t contrain the part on a secondary datum feature ??
