Hello,
you can use the nonlinear spring
and in the direction which you need to fix use very big stiffness, in opposite very low

Hello,

I am currently using ATENA v5.6.1 and I would like to support a beam in only the negative z-direction, but allow it to be free in the positive z-direction. What is the best way to go about doing this?

Thank you in advance!
