Constraints - One-sided Constraints

This tool is used to constrain nodes on one side of a Part Insert (3D) or Core (3D) component, prior to running a Core Shift analysis.

To access this tool, click (Boundary Conditions tab > Constraints and Loads panel > Constraints > One-sided Constraint).

The One-sided Constraint command is used to constrain all translational degrees of freedom at the selected node(s). Select the nodes to be constrained with the mouse, click Apply, and the one-sided nodal constraint(s) will be displayed on the model.

Widget	Explanation
Select	Select one or more nodes to constrain. As you select them, they will appear in the box next to Select.
Translation	The one-sided constraints must be defined for all 6 translation degrees of freedom; +X, +Y, +Z, -X, -Y, and -Z. For each of these the options are: Fixed - this is the default setting Free - this option means there is no constraint along this axis Specified Max - enter a distance in mm
Use constraint in	One-sided constraints can be set for core-shift analyses.
