Constraints along the first cutting line

Constraints that can be set along the first cutting line are the following. Please note that the applied constraints are propagated along the object up to the first cutting line (illustrations refer to the model contained in file "bend_constraints.e3"; the line of bend is the red one, while the cutting lines are vertical lines through the endpoints of the line of bend):

Status Enables you to control the movement of the section along the first cutting line. Select an option in the drop-down list:
Fixed No movement is allowed, whatever the other constraints are.
Rotation Rotates the section about the first cutting line.



Continuity Enables you to define the continuity constraint along the first cutting line. Select an option in the drop-down list:
Position Applies positional continuity between the two sections along the cutting line.
Tangency Applies tangency continuity between the two sections along the cutting line.
Curvature Applies curvature continuity between the two sections along the cutting line.
G3 Applies continuity one degree higher than curvature between the two sections along the cutting line.
G4 Applies continuity two degrees higher than curvature between the two sections along the cutting line.
