It is impossible to create point curve, roll curve, slide
curve, point surface jointd, if the parts involved in the joint creation
are not well positioned.
This section provides two examples and a tips summary table
showing you how to quickly solve this problem:
|
 |
No sample document is provided. |
|
Scenario 1: Creating a roll curve joint
|
|
-
Select the Roll Curve Joint icon in the
Kinematics Joints toolbar.
The Joint creation: Roll curve dialog box is displayed
-
You cannot select the Curve 2 in the geometry area. It is
impossible to create the roll curve joint because the parts are not well
positioned:
-
Click Cancel to exit the Joint creation
functionality.
-
Select Digital Mockup > DMU Navigator from the
Start menu.
-
Reposition the parts using the Snap
capability. This is what you obtain:
-
Select the Roll Curve Joint icon again in the
Kinematics Joints toolbar.
The Joint creation: Roll curve dialog box is displayed. You can now
create the roll curve joint: the parts are correctly positioned.
-
Click Ok to end the joint creation
|
|
|
Scenario 2: Creating a point surface joint

|
|
-
Select the Point Surface joint icon in the
Kinematics Joints toolbar.
The Joint creation: Point Surface dialog box is displayed:
-
You cannot select Point 1 in the geometry area. It is
impossible to create the point surface joint because the parts are not
well positioned:
-
Click Cancel to exit the Joint creation
command
-
Select Digital Mockup > DMU Navigator from the
Start menu
-
Reposition the parts using the Snap icon. This
is what you obtain:
-
Select the Point Surface Joint icon in the
Kinematics Joints toolbar.
The Joint creation: Point surface dialog box is displayed.This time you
can create the point surface joint because the parts are correctly
positioned.
-
Click OK to end the joint creation.

Tips: summary table
The following table aims at giving you tips for creating point and/or
curve joints.
Joint types

Tips:
|
for positioning parts
|
in specific context
|
Point surface
Point curve |
The point must be located
on the curve. |
|
in ENOVIA:
If the parts involved in the joint are not well positioned, create the
mechanism on positioned assemblies. |
Roll curve Slide curve |
The two curves must be
coincident and tangent in one point. |
Roll Curve joint
- create a point and a line tangent to the curve on this point for
each part.
- In the Assembly Design Workbench, snap the two points and the two
lines.
