Creating a Mechanical Interface

Under Characteristics, enter the Name and type of kinematic joint.

The degree of freedom is shown in the 3D area using the mechanical interface axis system. The directions in which motion is allowed is represented in green color.

Select the Position mode.

Geometry driven: Lets you define the primary, secondary, and tertiary geometrical elements used for positioning to make the engineering connection.
Axis system driven: Defines an existing external axis as a reference for positioning to make the engineering connection.
Editable: Lets you define the inputs for the definition of a new axis system to be used later for positioning. Click to define the new axis system and define the geometrical elements defined under Set in position.

Select the Mounting attribute of the template as Moving or Receiving.

Under Positioning Geometry, define the positioning of the feature.

Geometrical elements decide the positioning of the feature. These elements can be selected under Set in position and Maintain in position.

To define the elements under the Set in position section, click Primary/Secondary/Tertiary and Ctrl + select the elements of the feature in the 3D area.
Select the type of feature of this primary element in the Feature type box.
Click to specify the geometry canonicity and its feature of size.
When you specify the canonicity or feature of size and the selected feature type is not applicable, an icon appears for invalid feature type. You can select the valid feature type proposed in the Feature type list.
Select the elements in Maintain in position.

Under More Characteristics, enter the type and the nature of the feature.

In the Min and Max boxes, select the minimum and the maximum connections.
