Mechanism 3D Contact Feature
3D contacts are connections between a group of surfaces selected from two parts. These connections are similar to cams, joints, gears, and belts. Depending on the surfaces selected, 3D contacts can be of the following types:
• Sphere to Sphere (point contact)
• Sphere to Planar surface (point contact)
• Cylinder to Cylinder (line contact)
• Cylinder to Planar surface (line contact)
• Sphere to Cylinder (point contact)
• Toroid to Plane (point contact)
3D Contacts are created as Creo+ features and their values are stored as Creo+ feature parameters.
