  • Hi!!!

    How to constrain translations or rotations of point in positive or negative direction?

  • @MrSeysen, When you enter the values for the constraint, (like we initially did at 1 minute into the video) you can enter values other than zero, which will apply the entered displacement to the selected point of the model. You may enter a positive or negative value, and this displacement will be enforced upon the model in the direction specified by the Analysis Coordinate Frame. For rotations about an axis direction, the right hand rule is used to determine the positive direction.

  • @simulatemore But in that way the constrain point will be moved on value that described in displacement properties. I mean how to describe the constrain such as a constrain point lies on a plate and it can move to positive direction (by normal of plate) but it cannot move to negative direction.
