Description:
|
Law mathematic functions that are used for analysis of the design are not normally saved to the SAT file. Typically, only laws that are attached to model entities through geometry definitions are saved to the SAT file. In order to make laws more persistent and to share them from session to session, they can be turned into
LAW instances, which are derived from
ENTITY and are saved and restored.
