The constraint applies only if notch width is less than this value.

'notchLength f_notchLength

The constraint applies only if notch length is greater than or equal to this value.

'notchSpacing f_notchSpacing

  

The constraint applies only if notch spacing is less than or equal to this value.

Example

The spacing between the closed end of a notch and a shape that has a parallel overlap with the notch must be at least 0.14 if all of the following conditions are satisfied: notch width is less than 0.15, notch length is greater than or equal to 0.08, and notch spacing is less than or equal to 0.16.
