When we work machine elements like cylinder and piston. We need limiting the distance of two bodies. 

 

Is there a way to limiting the distance in adv. design?

One possibility may be to create an variable expression to set a maximum distance.

I have no idea how to write a variable expression. Do you have a sample solution like this? There is not any sample in the help menu.

Attached is the doc for writing expressions on Elements Direct Modeling and an example expression using IF ELSE

You can try something: When using "Position" in Adv Assembly there must be a check box for "Stop at clash" and a check box called "Physical". Try to tick one of them (and maybe "Update Relations") and see what happens.
