  • Contact Geometry: Define the contact geometry of the assembly body that is in contact with the passing body.

Note

If a surface or curve is defined in the clone body, it is automatically added to the contact geometry when the assembly page is opened.
So, if the contact geometry is defined as a surface or curve in advance, the assembly process can be greatly reduced.
