Displacement Constraint—Creo Simulation Live
A displacement constraint creates an enforced translation displacement in a specified direction for a selected surface. Applying a displacement constraint on a surface is similar to applying a load to a surface.
To Define a Displacement Constraint
1. Click > . The Displacement Constraint dialog box opens.
2. Specify a Name for the constraint or accept the default name. Optionally, click the color swatch adjacent to the Name box to change the color of the icon, the distribution, and the text displayed for the constraint.
3. Select one or more surfaces of the model to constrain. Your selection appears in the References collector.
4. Specify values for Translations in the X-, Y-, or Z- direction. You can enter a value, mathematical expression, or parameter name in this field. Accept the units of length for translation or choose others. You can also allow or prevent unlimited translation along any of the three axes using the Free or Fixed option for each direction.
5. Select the units of displacement from the list or accept the default units.
6. Click OK to create the constraint and save it.
