Frictionless joint simulation in CosWks

I have an assembly of 3 components, two rectangular components with holes and a pin connecting the two so that a rotational pin joint is created. I modeld the clearences as net fit which automatically assumes bonded surfaces in the analysis. I'd like this joint to simulate a frictionless pin joint that allows relative rotation of the components with the deflection of the rectangluar components caused by external loading. So which one of the contact pair types will allow this, or is there a different method of accomplishing my goal?
Thanks in advance.

Turn global contact sets to free, then make this pin joint with no torque restriction. You will have to define contact sets for every junction when you set the global to "free".
