Hello, I am trying to create a realistic Unsymmetrical Semi-elliptic leaf spring model which will vary by the know change in "Z" displacement. Basically I need to constrain the model by one spring eye location and two arc lengths. I cannot get this to work. I cannot figure out how to constrain an arc-length. I have tried the Covert-Perimeter function but nothing seems to work. I am using Wildfire 3.0...

Please help...

Thanks,

Billy
