COG constraint in optimization

Hello,

 

I am working on an optimization problem and COG is one of my constraints.

 

The COG is defined in 3 ( x,y,z ) coordinates but while assigning the constraint,  I am asked to enter only 1 value for upper and lower limit each. When I enter a value, how can I define which axis it will be applied to? 

 

Thanks,

    Hi @Muge Candogan

     

     You can define it for three directions X,Y and Z respectively.

    Later you can define the constraints for these responses through dconstraints panel.

    Hello Prakash,

     

    Yes I used the dconstraints panel but the panel only asks for 1 value instead of 3 (x,y,z). How can I define which coordinate it is when I enter a value?

     

    Thank you,
