Linear Release - Unilateral

[RRufino]

Hello,

Can you tell me how can i define a linear release with this conditions:

Ux + release

Ux - release

Uy + release

Uy - release

Uz + release

Uz - fixed

Rx + release

Rx - release

Because i can't see the the way to put at the same direction + plus - , like i need per example in Ux.

Best Regards,
Ricardo

Assuming that by releasing both - and + you mean that the release works in both directions it is enough to mark Ux, Ux and  Rx check boxes on the linear tab of the dialog. The unidirectional is intended for either + or - (e.g. allows for uplift but works in the downward direction).

Right, but at unilateral tab, on the selection box i just have, blank, - way and + way.

Standing in blank means that is released at both ways?

Depends on what you marked on the linear tab. If you marked the check box then this d.o.f is released (both ways). If not this is the fixed connection. The unilateral tab is to be used only when you want to define the unilateral release (the check box on the linear tab will be unmarked).
