When your upstream External Model source file includes constraint equations or coupling, an Imported folder appears beneath the Connections parent folder when you open the file in Mechanical. This object is a simple group folder. It contains the child object: Constraint Equations. The data associated with the imported equations is provided through the Worksheet. You can deactivate/active Worksheet entries using the Active selection box in the table or through the right-click context menu.
