I'm looking for a Contact Mate feature.

Any one know where to look?  As the fork pivots up, I want it to push the piston up.

    Tny using a ball mate from the bottom of the pin head and the top center of the arm. Make offset adjustments to the mate connectors as needed, or add the mate connectors in the partstudio.

    This assumes the pin is on a slider mate and the cam arm is on a revolute.

    I think the ball mate might refuse to move if the fork doesn't travel perfectly in line with the sliding piston.

    I know tangent mates are finicky, but you might be able to use a tangent mate and select the top face of the fork and the outside edge of the head on the piston.
