Frictionless Constraint

Applies a frictionless constraint on selected faces. A frictionless constraint prevents the surface from moving or deforming in the normal direction relative to the surface. The surface is free to rotate, move, or deform in a tangential direction to the applied frictionless constraint.

Access:

Ribbon: Stress Analysis tab Constraints panel Frictionless Alternatively, right-click the Constraints node in the browser and select Frictionless Constraint.

	Location	The Select command is active when the dialog box is displayed. Select a face to designate the constraint location.
	OK	Create the constraint and close the dialog box.
	Cancel	Close the dialog box without creating the constraint.
	Apply	Create the constraint and keep the dialog box open.
	More	Expands the dialog box to reveal additional controls pertinent to the command.
	Name	Constraint name - a default is provided, but you can give the constraint a more meaningful name for future or presentation reference.

Context Menu commands

Edit Frictionless Constraint	Displays the Edit Frictionless Constraint dialog box where you modify the values originally placed on the constraint.
Reaction Forces	Displays the Reaction Forces dialog box with the Reaction force and Reaction moment values. The values display zero until results of a simulation are available.
Suppress	Suppresses the selected constraint. When a constraint is suppressed, some other context menu entries are not available.
Copy	Copies the selected constraint. Select the Constraints folder and use the context menu Paste command to apply the copied constraint.
Delete	Deletes the selected constraint.
