Re: Advanced Mate
The first image shown the green wedge (central triangle) and two gray parts (outside triangles) in the closed position. The middle image shows the wedge moved upward and partially opening the two gray parts. The last image shows the wedge moved all the way up. I have two red lines showing where the two gray parts should stop (as there is no more wedge to keep moving them outward further).

Re: Advanced Mate
Use a limit mate from the midplane of the green to the vertical face of the gray part. Or a width limit between the vertical gray faces.

Re: Advanced Mate
I don't think mates will work in this case unless you want the green wedge to stop after it clears the gray portion. The sides are always coincident which is why the gray parts continue moving outwards.

Re: Advanced Mate
Try changing the mates to parallel, and move the part using Move Component, with the Physical Dynamics option in Move Component turned on.
There are many other ways as well.

Re: Advanced Mate
This did do what I was asking, although it is not as simple as just grabbing the green part and moving things around. Are there any other options?

Re: Advanced Mate
Hi Paul
I got it to work using a limit mate on the green wedge and a path mate with that corner vertex and a sketch in the green part. The right piece was mated symetric

Re: Advanced Mate
When I brought the assembly in, some of the mates were broke. The way I have it set back up, I can't pull the green part down...
...but I can push it up, and the gray parts continue to move beyond the low two bottom vertexes of the green part (your image shows the gray parts stopping at those vertexes).
How do I fix this?

Re: Advanced Mate
Sorry, it looks like I forgot to save the part before I uploaded it.
I added this sketch to this part
Then when adding the mate you need to use the selection manager to select the two sketch lines as a group

Re: Advanced Mate
Please see the video clip -Is this what you want ?
Edit: just uploaded a new video clip

Re: Advanced Mate
That looks like it could work...can you get the triangle you are moving upward to continue past the part that slides outward? Or does it stop once you get to the vertex?

Re: Advanced Mate
I'm at lunch now and will upload the sw file soon I get back to the ofiiece
i used sketch ro derive the part so u can extend as much as you can beyond the block

Re: Advanced Mate
Here is the SW 3D model - Edit sketch2 and extend as much as you want
Edit: just adjust the sketch for more correct !
