Example: Load Bearing Faces In this example, the load on a hinge assembly is borne by several faces. The hinge assembly shown has a concentric mate between two cylindrical faces. The mate aligns the geometry of the two parts relative to each other. However, when the two parts move, the load is borne by other faces as well. You can add the other cylindrical faces as load references for the mate. Faces of concentric mate between lower hinge and upper hinge Load references, lower hinge Load reference, upper hinge Parent topicMate PropertyManager Related concepts Mate Alignment Related tasks Allowing Misaligned Concentric Mates Pinning the Mate PropertyManager Related reference Mate PropertyManager - Mates Tab Mate PropertyManager - Analysis Tab
