Restraints
 |
Create Clamps: Fixes all degrees of freedom on a geometry selection |
|
Creating Technological Restraints: Generates restraining joins, either on a geometry selection or on a virtual part |
|
 |
Create Surface Sliders: Generates surface constraint joins, which allow points of a surface to slide along a coinciding rigid surface (fixes the translation degree of freedom for a surface in the direction of the local normal) |
 |
Create Ball Joins: Generates spherical joins (balls), which allow a rigid body to rotate about a given point (fixes all translation degrees of freedom of a point) |
 |
Create Sliders: Generates prismatic joins (sliders), which allow a rigid body to translate along a given axis (fixes all degrees of freedom of a point, except for one translation) |
 |
Create Pivots: Generates conical joins (hinges), which allow a rigid body to rotate around a given axis (fixes all degrees of freedom of a point, except for one rotation) |
 |
Create Sliding Pivots: Generates cylindrical joins (actuators) which allow a rigid body to translate about and rotate around a given axis (fixes all degrees of freedom of a point, except for one translation and one rotation) |
|
Create Generic Restraints: Creates various types of degree of freedom restraints |
|
 |
Create Advanced Restraints: Fixes any combination of degrees of freedom on a geometry selection |
 |
Create Iso-static Restraints: Generates statically determinate supports on a part |
