Hello Experts,

When to apply Multi Point Constraints? In equations under Analysis tab, what is the importance of weight of the dependent node?
whenever you want to constraint dofs as:
sum(Di x Wi) = S
D1, D2, ... are dofs
W1, W2,... are weight of those dofs
thinking you are modeling two shafts with external gears
constraint of their rotation (ex z-axle):
D61x10 - D62x20 = 0
D61, D62 are dof6 of node1, node2 that you bind by mpc
10, 20 are number of tooth
- : indicate external gear
so: bigger weight means more influence
