Re: Pro/ENGINEER Configuration Tips

Elie, in order to get the parts to move, you must change their static constraints to mechanism constraints. Pro/E supports numerous joint connections besides the traditional mate, align, insert.

I am using the collision option with the Burlington team becuase they are using a cam driven design, but the cam is not always in contact with the follower. Otherwise I could use the cam/follower connection.

If you want some help with joint connections and getting motion into your assemlby, just lemme know. I am open on Wed/Thr next week.
