Type |
Select the type of support or boundary condition.
- Free — No restrictions on any direction
- Pinned — X, Y, and Z are fully restricted, and RX, RY, and RZ are not restricted at all.
- Partial — There is some combination of restricted and free directions other than that which qualifies for Free, Pinned, or Fixed.
- Fixed — All directions are fully restricted.
|
X, Y, Z |
Set the restrictions for the movement of the node for translation X, Y, and Z (the node changing coordinates in those directions).
- None — No restriction.
- Partial — Partial restriction. Enter the degree of restriction. A zero degree of partial restriction is the same as None.
- Kx, Ky & Kz – Appears when the support Type is set to Free or Partial and the translation Restraints are set to Partial. The field is provided for specifying a spring constant.
- Full — Full restriction.
|
RX, RY, RZ |
Set the restrictions for the movement of the node for rotation RX, RY, and RZ (the node rotating in those directions).
- None — No restriction.
- Partial — Partial restriction. Enter the degree of restriction. A zero degree of partial restriction is seen by the software as the same as None.
- Krx, Kry & Krz – Appears when the support Type is set to Free or Partial and the translation Restraints are set to Partial. The field is provided for specifying a spring constant.
- Full — Full restriction.
