Creating a Mechanical Junction

Mechanical Junction Creation lets you create a mechanical junction of the required type based on the mechanical interfaces.


Before you begin: open a 3D part.
  1. Under Characteristics, specify the following:
    1. In the Name box, enter the name of the mechanical junction.
    2. From the Type list, select the required type of the mechanical junction.
    3. Click the required surface to specify it as a mechanical interface component for composing a mechanical junction.

      Alternatively, click to add the mechanical interface component.

    4. Specify the required characteristics of the mechanical interface and click OK.
  2. Click the required set in position type to refine the mechanical interface components based on their set in positions.
  3. For the mechanical junctions of auxiliary and main block types, under Fractioned position Geometry:
    1. Select the check box next to the required set in position geometry type to fraction the corresponding geometries.
      Under Linked Junction(s), primary, secondary, and tertiary geometry nodes are added based on the selected check boxes.
    2. From the list, select the required junction with which the current mechanical junction is fractioned.
  4. Specify the positioning constraints.
  5. Under More Characteristics, in the Description box, enter the information to be displayed when you hover over the mechanical junction node in the tree.

    The tooltip appears when the 3D Master Query from the View section of the action bar is selected.
