The ROD mates reflect the physical constraints in the GUIDE-ROD assembly. The ROD

is under defined, indicated by a minus sign (-).

The Concentric mate allows the ROD to translate freely in the Z direction through the

Guide Hole. The Parallel Mate prevents the ROD from rotating in the Guide Hole.

The GUIDE part icon is displayed with no color in the FeatureManager to reflect the

Hide state.

GUIDE-ROD Assembly· Mate the PLATE Component

Recall the initial design constraints.

• The ROD is fastened to the PLATE.

• The PLATE part mounts to the GUIDE-CYLINDER PISTON PLATE part.

Apply the Rotate Component ~ tool to position the PLATE before applying the Mates.
