Constraints along the second cutting line

Constraints that can be set along the second cutting line are the following. Please note that the applied constraints are propagated along the object up to its end (illustrations refere 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 second cutting line. Select an option in the drop-down list:
Free Any movement is allowed along the second cutting line.
Fixed No movement is allowed, whatever the other constraints are.
Rotation Rotates the section about the second cutting line.





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