Meaning of constraint types in CII
Thread Content
Common ones such as X, Y, Z, +Y, -Y, and guid go without saying; the rest are all about how they are defined and what their meanings are
The original poster has asked what I was thinking – I only knew that RX, RY, and RZ are related to rotation; I’m not sure about the rest. Same question.
For these basic questions, you should refer to the software’s built-in manual and help files. And now there’s also a Chinese version available online.
I’m not sure if I understand correctly Many constraints have not been encountered yet; X(orYorZ)SNB should represent bidirectional translational damping, X(orYorZ)ROD should represent axial rotational motion, and X(orYorZ)SPR should represent a bottom rebound spring
It is mentioned in the manual, but if one has never encountered that type of constraint, the literal translation alone is not sufficient to accurately understand its meaning. This post was last edited by woaihaichuan on 2009-2-18 11:33.]
That makes sense! Symbol ---> Meaning it represents ---> Specific form of application; the manual only covers the first step
