Context
In an assembly, you can define the relative position of components using the following
constraints: contact, offset, coincidence, and angle constraints. Constraints are used to
restrict motion along one or several of the six degrees of freedom.
You need to create a least one constraint to specify the position of the component. If a
CATProduct instance is constrained by at least one MCX, a Connections
of node appears under the CATProduct instance.
In this example, the part in a green frame includes at least one MCX, and the part in a
red frame is not constrained.
To determine a specific position for a component, you can either:
- Create and apply a position constraint on all six degrees of freedom.
- Fix the component.
