Constrain Pipe and Muffler

V. Constrain the Pipe and the Muffler  (Clamp_Pipe_->_Fixture and Clamp_Muffler_->_Fixture)

 

ClampPipe-Muffler_Exh

 

The Pipe and the Muffler are constrained to the Fixture_Pipe-Muffler. In the next step they will be attached to each other as a subassembly.

 

5.1 Clamp the Pipe

Add a Clamp move for the three surface points in the Pipe. Points Pipe_A1, Pipe_A2, and Pipe_A3 will be clamped with Infinite force to the Fixture_Pipe-Muffler using Target Associate direction and Hard (All DOF) joining type.

5.2 Clamp the Muffler

Add a Clamp move for the three surface points in the Muffler. Points Muffler_A1, Muffler_A2, and Muffler_A3 will be clamped with Infinite force to the Fixture_Pipe-Muffler using Target Associate direction and Hard (All DOF) joining type.

 

Results:

The nominal values of the measurements after constraining the Pipe and the Muffler remain unchanged.
