Working with different constraint types
- Our designs aren't always in an environment where they're completely locked in place, so the fixed constraint isn't necessarily appropriate all of the time. We have a couple of other options. For example, if our body here has this face resting on another part and it's held in place by bolts, we might want to use a couple of different constraints. For example, we might want this face to remain in place, but be able to slide in the plane. We also want this part to be able to pivot around the bolts that are holding it in place so we'll apply pin constraints here. The back of this component might be resting up against another part but not be held in place, so again a frictionless constraint is appropriate here. Applying the correct constraints can make a major difference in the results of your analysis, and the quality of your analysis.
