Spring contraction and retraction feature in assembly

rafael_ramirez792rafael_ramirez792 Member Posts: 2 EDU
I would like to suggest a Spring feature in assembly, I am making an engine and the difficulties I have encountered is that the intake and exahaust valves does not retract or contract because there is no spring feature.

    would it be kind of like a slider mate with some kind of bias pushing it to one side? 

    If your engine valves are actuated by cams on a shaft, you could probably use a tangent mate to make the valves move with the rotation of the cam shaft.
