    Default Simulation cam pin/slide action in injection molds?

    I'm designing a mold and I want to verify that the slides will be positioned correctly by the cam pins with the mold open and closed. Is there a way to set up some kind of motion study in SW so that at the moment the cam pin contacts the ID of the hole in the slide, it will cause the slide to move while maintaining tangency between the pin and the hole? I have SW 2015 Professional with Circuitworks and Photoview360 being the only add-ins.
    Thanks for any help.

    You really don't need a motion study. Just position a couple of lines as shown and measure the distance.
    I really don't "recommend" using the cam pin to hold the slide from blowing back. Its very hard to get proper seal off positioning. Normally I use a slide lock block in the cover half of the tool to move the slide to its final position and hold it in place. Search the web you should be able to find something.
