Revolute mate not solving

eric_krugeric_krug Member Posts: 4
I am working on a bike frame and have a suspension with 3 pivoting bars, when I add 4th revolute mate to close the suspension it can no longer solve the mates.

Here is the workspace link:

Between all 3 bars there should be no reason why the holes cannot align, is there some setting I am missing when resolving the last mate?

Thanks for any help

    Change the last revolute to a cylindrical - it's an internal mate tolerance issue where the translational DOFs are fighting each other.
