Cylindrical Constraint dialog box

Use the Cylindrical Constraint dialog box to apply a constraint to a cylindrical face.

Name
Name	Sets the name of the constraint.
Description	Sets the description of the constraint.
Destination Folder
Constraint Container	Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the boundary condition will be stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command. Examples of a root container include Load Container, Constraint Container, and Simulation Object Container.To view a hierarchical list of existing folders, click Folder Manager . To create a new folder, right-click any level of the hierarchy and choose New Folder.
Cylindrical Object
Group Reference	Lets you apply the constraint to a group.For more information, see Group Reference options.
Select Object	Lets you select the geometry or FE entities on which the constraint will be applied.
Stacked Smart Selector Methods	Opens the Smart Selector Methods dialog box where you can specify a progression of smart selection filters.For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box.
Excluded	Lets you remove individual entities from within the selected object.
Components
Radial Growth	Defines the constraint for the R-axis.FixedAllows no movement in the DOF.FreeAllows free movement in the DOF.DisplacementAllows displacement in the DOF, by a specified value that you enter into the adjacent box.
Axial Rotation	Defines the constraint for theta.
Axial Growth	Defines the constraint for the Z-axis.
All Free	Sets all components to free.
All Fixed	Sets all components to fixed.
Displacement CSYS or Method (Abaqus only)	Displays the solver-specific coordinate system for the constraint.
Card Name	Displays the name of the solver card for the constraint.

Additional magnitude options for boundary conditions
Expression	Lets you define the magnitude with a constant value or expression. The Expression box sets the value of the expression. For more information, see the Expressions.The units list sets the type of units.The options list displays a menu of options for defining the magnitude with an expression.For more information, see Additional magnitude options.
Field	Lets you define a magnitude that varies with independent variables such as frequency, temperature, or time.
