Constraints There are 2 types of constraints in CFX Build Simple 2. Advanced Simple constraints-a single child face constrains the parent face. The child face must lie completely within the parent face Advanced constraints- One or more child faces constrain the parent face Edges on a child face may coincide with edges on the parent face 5-4 CFX-4 CFX4.3V4.3.1H Introductory Training(Dec 1999
