Contact-type constraints can be created between twoplanar faces (directed planes).
The common area between the two planar faces can be a plane (plane contact), a
line (line contact) or a point (point contact).
The following table shows the elements you can select.

This task consists in applying a constraint
between two faces.
Before constraining the desired components, make
sure it belongs to a component defined as active (the active component is blue framed and
underlined).
This command is also
available from the Insert menu.
2.
Select the face to be constrained,
that is the red face as shown.
3.
Select the second face to be constrained, that is the
blue inner face in the direction opposite to the red face.
As the contact constraint is created, the red component is moved so as to
adopt its new position. Green graphic symbols are displayed in the geometry area to
indicate that this constraint has been defined.
This constraint is
added to the specification tree too.
