A Constraint Settings Section node (
) is a special section that a feature with constraints uses. A feature always have this section when there is at least one constraint. Add this node when you want to include constraint settings although there is no constraints for the feature, or if you want to modify the content of the section. The section always contains a selectable input that allows a user to select the type of constraint. It also contain a check box for weak constraints when necessary. Similar to the Selectable Input node, Allowed Values subnodes defines the allowed values for the selectable input of this section. There can only be one Constraint Settings Section node for each physics feature.

There can only be one Constraint Settings Section node for each physics feature.To add a Constraint Settings Section first add a feature node, for example, a Generic Feature, Domain Condition, or Device Model Feature, then:
|
•
|
From the contextual toolbar (in this example, Generic Feature, Domain Condition, or Device Model Feature), click the Constraint Settings Section (
 ) button. |
|
•
|
Right-click the feature node (in this example, Generic Feature, Domain Condition, or Device Model Feature) and select it from the Inputs submenu.
|
The Settings window has the following sections:
Under Supported options defined by child nodes, the Default value list can either be the First valid value (the default) or Custom default. The latter allows you to enter an arbitrary default value as long as it is among the allowed values defined for the input.
The Default method list controls the default value for the constraint method setting in the Constraint Settings section for physics features that adds constraints. The options are Elemental (the default) or Nodal.
In the Category for hiding section list, choose among possible options to hide the section with respect to the global display settings Advanced physics options (the default), Discretization, and Stabilization. The option None disables the hiding of this section; for None, select the Section is initially collapsed check box to make the section initially appear as collapsed instead of expanded.
