Fixity

This command allows you to add a fixity constraint to a FreeShape geometry.

 

Creation Stages / Use:

 

Click the icon or select FreeShape > Relations > Fix... from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Select the geometry on which you would like to add the fixity constraint.

 

 

  • Faces with a fixity constraint appear in gray.

  • When converting a shape in FreeShape, all of the faces are fixed. You must therefore delete the fixity constraint on the faces to be "freed" for the purpose of geometric or dimensional changes to the part.

 

  • To delete the fixity relationship, select the fixed element and then choose the Remove fixity command from the popup menu displayed when right-clicking.

  • In order to simplify the entities tree display, the fixity constraints symbols are not displayed into the constraints list of the FreeShape.
