Spherical joint modelling
I need the CAD model of the following Part in CATIA V5 R20. Could someone kindly do that ?
the dimensions are the ones brought in the first table under :
BC08-005864-B

Creating spherical joint is much easy. Follow these steps to create such joint
1. Create a point at center (of sphere) of object for both part.
2. Now fix the base part so as to simulate.
3. Note on specification tree under mechanism you will see DOF=3 which means that the mechanism has 3 DOF. So it can rotate on X, Y, Z but cannot translate.
4. To achieve fully constrained motion attach any mechanism parts such that they satisfy to 0 DOF.
