Apply the Constraint

The structure is constrained using a fixed boundary condition.

1. Copy the following text:

   strCmdForConstraint = "<Constraint Name=""Fixed Beams"" ID=""1"" Type=""0"" CoordinateSystemID=""0"" Tx=""1"" Ty=""1"" Tz=""1"" Rx=""1"" Ry=""1"" Rz=""1"" EntitiesCount=""2"" ArrowLength=""50"" ArrowColor=""14803200"" DisplayDensity=""4"" SubcaseCount=""1"" Subcases=""1""><Entity2 GeometryType=""3"" GeometryID=""42"" ComponentName=""Tutorial 2""/><Entity1 GeometryType=""3"" GeometryID=""30""/></Constraint>"

   Type = 0 denotes the use of a structural constraint. Each component (Tx, Ty, Tz, Rx, Ry, Rz) is defined with a value of 1, denoting a fixed boundary condition. GeometryType = 3 denotes that the boundary condition is applied on the two sketch entities with ID’s of 42 and 30.

   These commands are equivalent to applying the constraint with the user interface.

   
2. Paste the text below the existing commands in the Edit Rule dialog.
