Then, X support on the plane is right, and rigid-body rotations along Z and Y are blocked by this condition. If you have a point support in Y and Z, all rigid-body displacements are also blocked, and the only remaining DoF to check is rotation along X. Depending on the real setup, the most typical ways to block it are 1. Y support at the loading point or 2. more than a single point supported in the vertical (Z) direction, for example, a surface support in Z instead a point one.]]>https://forums.cervenka.cz/profile.php?id=42012-04-25T07:11:18Zhttps://forums.cervenka.cz/viewtopic.php?pid=1066#p1066<![CDATA[Rotation]]>Hi there.... Please, I have 1/2 circular column and therefore I have a symmetry condition and I followed the following procedure: Data:conditions:constraint for surface:X-constraint then Assign to the surface where the symmetry condition should be defined. Now please how can I "make sure that the rotation along the vertical axis is blocked", I mean I do not know the exact procedures for doing that.
