Which constraint keeps a cylindrical follower in contact with a contiguous set of cam faces as it moves?
Answer: Transitional
A Transitional constraint maintains contact between a face and a series of adjacent faces.
Which motion constraint is used to simulate a rack and pinion?
Answer: Rotation-Translation
Rotation-Translation links rotation of one component to translation of another.
What does the Insert constraint combine?
Answer: A planar mate and an axis-to-axis mate
Insert combines a face mate with collinear axes, leaving only rotation about the axis.
What does the Drive command allow you to do with a constraint?
Answer: Animate it through a range of values and optionally record video
Drive steps a constraint value through a range to animate motion and can record an AVI or WMV.
Making a subassembly Flexible allows you to:
Answer: Move its components independently in each occurrence
Flexible lets each occurrence of a subassembly show different internal positions.
To detect physical contact between components while dragging, which two things must be set?
Answer: Components in a Contact Set and Contact Solver activated
Contact Solver works only on components marked as part of the Contact Set.
An adaptive part can be adapted in how many assembly occurrences at one time?
Answer: Only one
A part can be adaptive in only one occurrence because its geometry is driven by that context.
