How to constrain the motion of geometry in only one direction in MBD

Raheem Sterling_22160

Hi,

When I use the MBD to apply a force on geometery in z direction, I want to constrain the direction only in z direction, which means  the motion in x and y direction should be limited, how to achieve this? 

Thanks

Hi Raheem,

Are you connecting to a MBD solver or using the in-built Force Controller? If connecting to a MBD solver the constraint would have to come from the MBD side.  If using a force controller you can set the Constrain Motion Directions option, for example shown below constrained to Z direction only.
