how prevent displacement normal to a surface

how prevent displacement normal to a surface

how prevent displacement normal to a surface

(OP)
Hi all,

When the displacement we want to prevent is parallel to a cartesian axis there is not problem.

The problem is when I want to prevent a normal displacement of a surface no parallel to a cartesion axis and even when the surface is not straight.

How could we prevent the normal displacement in those cases?

Thank you!!!!!

I supose, just in case of a straight surface is creating a new "CSYS" coordenate system in the correct position and then, we select it and we can do it.

Am I right??

but in case of a random curve surface how we would do it??

Probably it is not possible what I proposed

RE: how prevent displacement normal to a surface

That's only possible trough contact.

Make a copy of your surface; make it rigid; define contact; deactivate 'Allow separation' in contact property.
