Profile on profile

This command allows to create a profile on profile joint between 2 rigid groups. For example, an ejector can move vertically until there is a contact with the mold, then slide along the wall.

Creation stages / Use:

Click the icon or select the Mechanism > Other joints > Profile on profile... command from the drop-down menu.

Select the first rigid group.
Select the second rigid group.
Select the plane in which the 2 profiles are in contact on the same point. If profiles are not in the same plane, there will be projected following the normal direction to this plane.
Select the profile of the first rigid group.
Select the profile of the second rigid group.
Check or uncheck Unilateral. This option allows you to have a non-permanent contact between the 2 profiles. When 2 profiles are moved and touched together, the contact is done. It will be possible to separate profiles but not cross them.
Check or uncheck No slipping. This option, when it is checked, allows you to move a profile on another in case of contact, if other joints allow it. If the option is unchecked, the second profile will not move in case of displacement of the first one.
Validate by clicking .

The profile orientation should be such that the orange circle is into the matter.
A line of a profile parallel to a line of another profile and in contact are considered as a contact point.
The joint manages a contact between a non-collinear profile (no fillets between 2 lines) only if there is only one contact point at any time.
The joint is compatible with opened profile, but all segments used in the joint must be created.

This joint can not be used when 2 profiles have 2 contact points like for example a cylinder in a "V".The trick is to cut the "V" in 2 parts, each profile of the "V" will have only one contact with the circle, the joint will be "unilateral".
