Analyzing Degrees of Freedom

	This task explains how to see if you need to set additional constraints to the components making up your assembly.
	Open the AnalyzingAssembly04.CATProduct document.
	1.	Double-click CRIC_SCREW (CRIC_SCREW.1) to make it active.

	2.	Select the Analyze -> Degrees of Freedom command. The Degrees of Freedom Analysis dialog box is displayed.

		The dialog box displays all rotations and translations that remain possible for the selected component. In our scenario, you can rotate CRIC_SCREW (CRIC_SCREW.1) in three ways or translate it in two ways. If you look at the geometry, you can notice that these rotations and translations are represented in yellow.
	3.	Click the button Rotation_2. The graphic element representing this possible rotation is now highlighted in the geometry for easy identification.

		As detailed in the dialog box, you can perform a rotation around the vector which coordinates are x=0, y=1 and z=0 and using the point with coordinates x=0, y=0 and z=0 as the rotation center.
	4.	Click Translation_2. The graphic element representing this possible rotation is now highlighted too.

		As detailed in the dialog box, you can perform a translation along the vector which coordinates are x=0, y=0 and z=1.
	5.	Click Close to exit the command.
