Description

Creates a FEM constraint for a fixed geometry entry by locking all 6 degrees of freedom of the selected object.

Usage

  1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Fixed boundary condition button.
    • Select the Model → Mechanical boundary conditions and loads → Fixed boundary condition option from the menu.
  2. In the 3D view select the object the constraint should be applied to, which can be a vertex (corner), edge, or face.

Limitations

You cannot mix object types within the same constraint. Use one fixed constraint for each object type.
