Hello,
I wanted to redesign and eliminate extra material from my parts and I started design another box my gears. Everything worked perfect in my first design (pic 1) but now, though I have the same gear assembly, the same distance between gears axis I cannot mate with the box based on axis mate or concentric mate (pic 2)
Can you give me some hints on what I did wrong?
Thanks a lot
Radu, it would be much easier to help if you would pack and go your assembly and post it here.
Thanks for your fast answer.
I attached the zip packed and go like you said.
Thanks
I can see that you're trying to overconstrain your assembly. Both the pinion gear and the trunion box are fully constrained in translation (they can rotate, but cannot move). If you try to constrain the pinion's axis to the axis of the post on the trunion box, it will overconstrain the system, since neither component is free to translate. Instead, add a parallel constraint to the trunion box and it will align with the pinion.
