Temporary contact

ludovic_dupuis

Hello,

I'm new to the Assembly module.
Is there a way to use temporary contact in assembly ?
In my document, during the rotation of the wheel, the bar should follow the stick on the wheel or stay on middle axis

You will need to create a helper surface (or solid) which is a racetrack shape. Then you can use a tangent mate.

Here's an example of a way to do it using some kind of helper surface. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a5131b68f03fda9978081903/w/dc242ca0f35187771b29d47a/e/639e612784b8e38d0252065f
