Soft Farm/Safari Fridge Magnets Magnetic Mates Animals - Various Animals (Tiger)

Product Information

Magnetic Mates can be used in a variety of ways; most commonly for layout. They can also be utilized for assembly configurations to swap out components; magnetic mates can make this process very efficient.

In the Asset Publisher, we must define the Ground Plane for our component. For this part, that will be the top plane. Next, we must define one of our connection points. Adjust the magnetic mate proximitythrough the system options (under performance). Making the proximity smallerwill mean that the component must be dragged within closer vicinity of anothercomponent for the magnetic mate to snap into position.First, select an edge that will hold the point, then select a feature to define the direction, like the face in the example below.

Adjust the magnetic mate proximity through the system options (under performance). Making the proximity smaller will mean that the component must be dragged within closer vicinity of another component for the magnetic mate to snap into position. Utilizing SpeedPaks andmagnetic mates, we can keep this layout running smoothly while still being able to move and mate the conveyors.Learn more about usingmagneticmates in the official SOLIDWORKS Assembly Modeling Training Course . Both self-paced and in-person training options are available. Bringing our piece close to thestation, which has asingle connection point, a link is made between the connections. Releasing the part will snap thestraight piece to thestation, creating the first magnetic mate. These types of layouts can be very large assemblies if the subassemblies and components are fully realized. SpeedPaks can be used to keep the data manageable. In the example below, we've kept the graphics data, but only the geometry data needed for our magnetic mates is included.
