Aye, Aye, Matey: A Beginner's Guide to Advanced Mating

When creating assemblies, mating components is a time consuming step. However, this is critical to evaluating your final design. The more components you have the longer this can be. 'Aye, Aye', a phrase associated with pirate-speak, is an apt phrase here because it is said to the captain meaning, 'I will get that done right away!'

In this on-demand 3DEXPERIENCE World 2023 technical session, utilizing pirate-themed models, we will:
