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 Mate PropertyManager - Standard Tab Mate PropertyManager - Advanced Tab Mate PropertyManager - Mechanical Tab Mate Pop-Up Toolbar Allowing Misaligned Concentric Mates Mate Alignment Mate PropertyManager - Analysis Tab Pinning the Mate PropertyManager
