Hi,
When analyze a product and it’s children for constraints and degrees of freedom, it is not considering the
constraints made by pattern method. For example, if I constrained one bolt by
normal constrain method and other three bolts by using the rectangular pattern,
bolts are assembled correctly. To check this, if I move the bolt by dragging, automatically
update symbol is coming in the bottom of the screen which means that three
bolts are correctly constrained. But, when I check through analysis command, it
is showing that degrees of freedom are 6. Kindly suggest solution to exactly
find out the unconstrained component through analyze command. My requirement is analyze command should consider the constraints by pattern method also.
