# Industrial Specification: Constraint Manager

## 1. Technical Definition
A software component within the Layout Algorithm Module that defines, validates, and enforces spatial and operational constraints during layout optimization.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-100% constraint satisfaction threshold, 1-1000 simultaneous constraint evaluations per millisecond**. Failure boundary: **Constraint satisfaction drops below 95% for &gt;50ms, memory usage exceeds 512MB allocated buffer**, Mechanism: **Memory fragmentation causing cache misses exceeding 15% threshold, CPU thermal throttling at 85°C junction temperature**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Concurrent constraint evaluation requests exceeding 1000/s | 8 | Constraint validation latency exceeds 50ms threshold | Implement priority queue with 5-tier classification and load balancing across 4 CPU cores |
| Memory leak in constraint caching subsystem accumulating 2MB/hour | 8 | Available heap memory drops below 10% causing garbage collection thrashing | Implement reference-counted constraint objects with automatic cleanup at 75% memory utilization |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |

- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What does the Constraint Manager do in machinery layout optimization?
**A**: The Constraint Manager defines, validates, and enforces spatial and operational constraints during layout optimization, ensuring equipment placement meets safety, efficiency, and operational requirements.

### Q: How does the Constraint Evaluation Engine work?
**A**: The Constraint Evaluation Engine processes parsed rules to check layout configurations against defined constraints, identifying violations in real-time during the optimization process.

### Q: What types of constraints can the Constraint Manager handle for equipment manufacturing?
**A**: It handles spatial constraints (clearances, access zones), operational constraints (workflow sequences, maintenance access), and safety constraints (hazard zones, emergency exits) specific to machinery manufacturing environments.
