Constraints

Rigid constraint definitions are applied using the command

PROPERTY BOUNDARY CONSTRAINT [constraintname] partname dof

Where dof is any number of up to 5 digits comprising the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 (meaning x,y,z,rx,ry,rz). dof=9 means constrain all degrees of freedom. The interface will automatically sum constraint definitions where overlaps occur.
