The HiCAD
Constraint Manager (HCM) combines individual parts into complex assemblies (Assembly Modelling) by assigning constraints - dimension relations, logical connections or restrictions - and automatically re-adjusts them if there are changes
to dimensions. Constraints are either automatically identified by HiCAD
(AutoConstraints) or explicitly specified. You can use this technology
to perform motion analyses in 3-D, including collision
checks. Spatial movements can be controlled individually and are visualised
in real time.
The HiCAD Constraint Manager can be subdivided into the following functional areas:
