Fixed constraint (Simcenter Samcef)

You can define a Fixed Constraint to fix several translational or rotational degrees of freedom (DOF).

Types of fixed constraints

Constraint type	Description	Corresponding Simcenter Samcef input file entry
Fixed Constraint	Fixes all six degrees of freedom (DOF).	.CLM FIX NOEUD -
Fixed Translation Constraint	Fixes the three translational DOF. All rotational DOF are free.	.CLM FIX NOEUD - C 1/2/3
Fixed Rotation Constraint	Fixes the three rotational DOF. All translational DOF are free.	.CLM FIX NOEUD - C 4/5/6
