Constraints and Loads on Compressed Geometry
You can place a constraint or a load on a surface that will be compressed to a midsurface edge. Creo Simulate automatically transfers such a constraint or load from the original surface to the compressed midsurface edge. This transfer will occur for the following types of loads and constraints when you compress a solid to a midsurface:
Original Surface Constrained Components
Compressed Edge Constrained Components
Tx, Ty, Tz, Rx, Ry, Rz

* If your model has an interpolated surface load, Creo Simulate cannot automatically transfer the load to an edge. Therefore, if you attempt to compress a solid containing such a load, the attempt will fail, and Creo Simulate will delete the load.
