A Simple example of using the Advanced Screw Mate in a SOLIDWORKS Assembly screw mate advanced simplified short interference a screw mate constrains two components to be concentric and also adds a pitch relationship between the rotation of one component and the translation of the other translation of one component along the axis causes rotation of the other component according to the pitch relationship likewise rotation of one component causes translation of the other component similar to other mate types screw mates do not prevent interference or collisions between components to prevent interference use Collision Detection or interference detection.
