A transitional constraint specifies the intended relationship between (typically) a cylindrical part face and a contiguous set of faces on another part, such as a cam in a slot. A transitional constraint maintains contact between the faces as you slide the component along open degrees of freedom. |
Access: |
Ribbon: Assemble tab Relationships panel Constrain , and then click the Transitional tab. |
Selections
