Your question: What does constraints mean in Fusion 360?

What is a constraint in Fusion 360?

Constraints, in Fusion 360 Simulation, are applied to a model to prevent it from moving in response to applied loads. Loads and constraints often replace parts of the model that we’re not concerned with and don’t need to model. For example, you may want to know if your shelf can withstand the weight of objects.

What does the coincident constraint do?

The Coincident constraint causes two points to be constrained together, or causes one point to lie on a curve. In a 3D sketch, a coincident constraint can also cause points and lines to be constrained to surfaces.

How do I remove a constraint in Fusion 360?

You can delete a sketch constraint by selecting the corresponding constraint glyph (the small, white icon in the canvas indicating coincident, midpoint, etc) and then pressing the Delete key or selecting Delete from the context menu.

What is a constrained sketch?

Geometric constraints are created automatically between lines, arcs, and other geometry as you sketch. Constraints can also be manually applied after the sketch geometry exists to stabilize sketch shape or position. These geometric constraints allow the sketch to be edited with predictable results.

How can all the constraints associated with a sketch entity be identified in Fusion 360?

Toggle open your Component > Sketches > SketchName. You will then see a Constraints folder, which can be toggled open to lists all of the constraints used throughout your design.

How can you remove a constraint?

To delete a check constraint

1. In Object Explorer, expand the table with the check constraint.
2. Expand Constraints.
3. Right-click the constraint and click Delete.
4. In the Delete Object dialog box, click OK.

What is a tangent constraint?

Tangent constraints constrain an object’s orientation so that as an object moves along a curve, the object always points in the direction a curve. The curve provides the path of the object’s motion, and the object orients itself to point along the curve.

How do we turn off the display of the applied constraints?

How is this done? Yes, applied constraints can be manually removed just like any other entities. Simply click on the displayed symbol and hit the [Delete] key.
