Hi everyone,
So I am having difficulties mating parts and getting them to stay togther for my assembly.
I am trying to connect the bar connector---bar segment on the inside-----with the vertical bar attachment.
If anyone has any help, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Matthew
hei'ya Matthew, not the best solutions,
but it might get you further
hope this helps- have a good'n kelef
Thank you,
but it doesn't stay open...it just shows it for about 5 seconds, and then it goes blank and all of the features in the feature tree are grey.
If you could describe how you mated them/the steps you went about that would be even better.

hei'ya Matthew,
select barebellYES.SLDASM
RMB-
open>BarebellYES.SLDASM
(X axis tangent mate)
select face of barbell connector>mate>(+entity to mate)bar connector-2
tangent mate/anti-aligned
confirm-exit subassy
see scrnshot below
in Workout Machine UPDATED-klf.SLDASM
(Z axis limit mate)
select sliding block improved face>mate>(+entity to mate)back bottom right block face
distance mate>max value=37
minimum value=0
anti-aligned
confirm-exit
see scrnshot below
and repeat for Y axis limit mate
as in scrnsht below
hope this helps dude

Thanks man, I'll probably post more questions later but this has helped immensely.
Any idea on the Barbell, the actual Bar.
It is made up of the base barbell, two sleeves, two connectors and the two clips...
I am trying to make it so the two clips are on the base barbell, perhaps welded? I have tried a few times but it has been quite hard so far.
I am trying to create it in a way so that you can move the base barbell and the clips rotate with it...like a real life one lol
Thanks again,
Matt
I had a minor problem with the barbell connector mate, it wouldn't allow me to mate it to the bar connector...
Am I just mating the face of each, tangently? Or am I mating the face of the barbell connector with some other aspect of the bar connector?
hei'ya Matthew, be sure you are in the sub-assembly,
and from the scrnsht you should see I have used the left
barbell connector, front plane and then
select the connector body/cylinder,
mate options>tangent mate and anti-aligned
for the bar clips, also in the sub-assembly:-
select a feature or plane of one of the clips and then
the same in the second clip and select the mate type-
this will make them move in unison
at the main assy. level select an angular mate,
with min and max angles
sorry, cann't get to do anything on your model, just now,
my system is fully loaded and not able to stop it for most
of the next couple of hours
but check carefully the scrnshts, those selections work,
although they would not be my first choice if the build
was consistent on planes, centres or symetrical
hope this helps dude- have a good'n kelef
PS I'll have a look at the original build if I get time

Are you extracting the zip folder (right click on the folder and select Extract All) before File>Open from within SolidWorks to open or are you trying to open from the zipped folder by double clicking on a file?
hei'ya JM, sorry about xover, just saw your other/postings,
I didn't have the heart or time to go for
a complete rebuild
preparation and forethought- it helps

For some reason the OP keeps creating new threads rather than continue the discussion in a single thread.
I only create new threads because the discussion will die or stop..
You can always "bump" a thread.
At least include url to to previous discussion(s) to help avoid confusion.
I feel quite unintelligent but how do you "bump" and I will do that from now on!
I wasn't trying to create confusion, just wanted to find what the above poster posted...the screenshots and steps were very helpful for my skill level.
To "bump" a thread, just reply to it (like I just did). Common courtesy recommends only 1 bump per day.

So I am on the final parts. I do not need the clamps to be able to swivel with the bar, the horizontal movement of the bottom bar and the vertical movement of the barbell will suffice. I attached the latest attempt, it still shows some mate warnings? and some that won't work *but have in the past. It seems like everytime something new works, an old thing messes up.
Can anyone help solve these problems, once I get this fixed, no more questions. promise!
Thank you once again,
Matt
