Defining Constraints

Various facilities for defining constraints are provided. A point, line, or surface may be constrained on its own or general constraints between different parts of the model may be defined. This enables `multi-point-constraint' equations to be generated for the finite element analysis program. Elastic supports may also be defined, and the constraints may be defined in local coordinate systems.
