how to generate a uniform distribution with an constraint

Dear fellows,

I want to do a simulation. There are two variables c1 and c2. And they satisfy a function f(c1,c2)=constant. Assuming c1 and c2 are uniformally distributed along the function f(c1,c2)=constant, how can I realize this?

Cheers, X

Rearrange the function into the form:

c2 = g(c1,constant),

Randomly generate c1, and simply calculate c2, based on the constant you know.
