What is coincident relation in SolidWorks?

Where is coincident in SolidWorks?

Click Constraints > Geometric Constraints > Coincident (or type GcCoincident). Specify the first constraint point on an entity (Line, linear PolyLine segment, Circle, Arc, PolyLine arc, Ellipse, or Spline). Specify the second constraint point on another entity.

What are the different relations in SolidWorks?

Description of Sketch Relations

What is Pierce relation in SolidWorks?

A pierce relationship is required to ensure that two entities from different axis collide or cross paths – the center point of entities can be selected to move the sketch entity to a mutual position. To apply a pierce relation a line and a sketch point are required.

What is use of coincident constraint?

The Coincident constraint causes two points to be constrained together, or causes one point to lie on a curve. In a 3D sketch, a coincident constraint can also cause points and lines to be constrained to surfaces. The yellow coincident dot represents the presence of the constraint.

How do you add a relation in SolidWorks?

(Dimensions/Relations toolbar) or Tools > Relations > Add to create geometric relations (such as tangent or perpendicular) between sketch entities, or between sketch entities and planes, axes, edges, or vertices. You can choose whether geometric relations are automatically created as you create sketch entities.

What is sketch relations in Solidworks?

Description: Sketch relations help to define a sketch entity by relating them or constraining them to other sketch entities. Sketch relations can either be added or assumed by SolidWorks through built in features (the polygon tool). Note: All relations can be seen and edited by using the display/delete relation icon.

How many types of geometric relations are there in Solidworks?

On selecting two lines the following relationships are made available, parallel, perpendicular, equal and collinear. On selecting two circles the following relationships are made available, concentric, tangent, equal and coradial. On selecting two lines the user is presented with the following relationships.

How do you add an edge relationship in Solidworks?

(Dimensions/Relations toolbar) or Tools > Relations > Add to create geometric relations (such as tangent or perpendicular) between sketch entities, or between sketch entities and planes, axes, edges, or vertices. You can choose whether geometric relations are automatically created as you create sketch entities.

What is a coincident relation?

A coincident relationship, which tells SolidWorks that two points should always be touching, is a common and useful relationship in design. Coincident relationships can be used in both 2D sketch mode and 3D assembly mode to define your model.

What does collinear mean in SolidWorks?

Collinear. Two or more lines. The items lie on the same infinite line. Coradial. Two or more arcs.

What does concentric mean in SolidWorks?

In SolidWorks, relations between sketch entities and model geometry are an important means of building in design intent. For example, you can draw two concentric circles. If you specify a concentric relation and then move one circle, the other circle moves with it, maintaining the relation.
