Setting an Acceleration Constraint
- Select Acceleration from the dropdown menu of the Structural tool in the Physics group of the Simulation tab, or by selecting the Acceleration tool in the Structural condition HUD.
-
Select one or more bodies.
If your model contains Named Selections, you can click Advanced filters, select Link named selections, and choose one from the list.
- Define the direction for the acceleration. Use the Direction tool or Alt-click to select a face or edge.
-
Specify at which Acceleration the selected bodies are to be
moved by. The values entered are in a local coordinate system, determined from the
location selection, with x normal to a plane, or along a cylinder, with the centroid
located at the center.
Optionally, keep specific directions as free to move, or if fixed, specify at which acceleration they are to be moved.
