      Make sure the Pull Out “Direction” is pointing towards the field of elements to be optimized. Optimizer starts at the origin (either global cys origin or user defined csys origin) and projects in user defined direction. If code does not see any elements, pull out constraint will have no effect. This is why starting point (cys) and user direction are very important.
