Chapter 14: Assembly Configurations and Display States



  1. Activate the Default Position configuration, and make a coincident mate between
    the Top plane of the Chainstay part and the sketch line indicated in Figure 14.23.
    Again, the wheel does not move at this time.

Positioning the rear of the bike

Mate to this line


  1. Activate the Compressed Position configuration and make a coincident mate
    between the same plane and the line that is angled up at 10 degrees.


Note
For these configs you also need to set the Advanced options just as you set the top-level configs in Step 3. If you
do not do this, you may need to manually suppress the unwanted mates in the appropriate configurations. n



  1. Switch to the Mate Driven Position configuration. Change the stem-fork assembly to a
    flexible subassembly (RMB-click and choose Component Properties ➪ Solve as Flexible).

  2. Add new derived configurations called 1, 2, and 3. While creating the new configs,
    ensure that the Suppress new features and mates and Suppress new components options
    are selected. Leave the 1 configuration activated.

  3. Make an angle mate between the Bike assembly Top plane and the face of the link,
    as shown in Figure 14.24.
