translate until contact is made, double radius
Hi,

I am trying to model a train wheel and rail.

I have the geometry set up with a 5mm clearance between the whell and the rail. I want to perform a translation on the wheel toward the rail until the 2 bodies make contact, the top of the rail is a radius as is the wheel (in opposing axis), so the contact will be point. How can I translate the wheel until this contact is made?

Many Thanks,

Kev
