Description: You asked, we answered! We are proud to introduce the Tangent Relationship tool in Autodesk Fusion 360. Most CAD tools use geometric mates and constraints to restrict the degrees of freedom gradually. Fusion Joints flips the script and allows the user to slowly "open up" degrees of freedom. But it has its limits, and one of those was the ease of kinematic assemblies. The new Tangent Relationship tool in Fusion 360 gives you the ability to have two components tangent to each other: when one component moves, then the other moves tangentially with it. In the Fusion 360 assemble panel, pick the tangent relationship command. Next, select a face on the first component, then a single or suite of faces on the second component. The result will be that the faces of the two corresponding components will maintain a tangent geometric relationship. Think of it as a constraint. The joints are exercised via dragging, animating, or driving joints. A node for the tangent relationship will appear at the appropriate place in the timeline and a node under a folder called relationships will be placed in the browser below the joints folder. ►FREE TRIAL | autode.sk/31Sxeef ►SUBSCRIBE | autode.sk/30njGGX ►GET STARTED | autode.sk/30k2DWh CONNECT with Fusion 360 on social media: INSTAGRAM | autode.sk/2Enzh8P FACEBOOK | autode.sk/19jII5A TWITTER | autode.sk/19jIJXc LISTEN to the Fusion 360 podcast "The New Possible": BLOG | autode.sk/3qbFsFS SPOTIFY | autode.sk/3txPz9O APPLE | autode.sk/36LwBTE GOOGLE | autode.sk/2YQccbC
