Pin Constraint

Applies a rotational constraint on the selected combination of cylindrical faces.

Access:

Ribbon: Stress Analysis tab Constraints panel Pin Alternatively, right-click the Constraints node in the browser and select Pin Constraint.

	Location	The Select command is active when the dialog box is displayed. Select cylindrical faces on which to apply the constraint.
	OK	Create the constraint and close the dialog box.
	Cancel	Close the dialog box without creating the constraint.
	Apply	Create the constraint and keep the dialog box open.
	More	Expands the dialog box to reveal additional controls pertinent to the command.
	Fix Radial Direction	Cylindrical surfaces cannot move, rotate, or deform radially to the cylinder.
	Fix Axial Direction	Cylindrical surfaces cannot move, rotate, or deform axially to the cylinder.
	Fix Tangential Direction	Cylindrical surfaces cannot move, rotate, or deform tangentially to the cylinder.
	Name	Constraint name - a default is provided, but you can give the constraint a more meaningful name for future or presentation reference.

Context Menu commands

Edit Pin Constraint	Displays the Edit Pin Constraint dialog box where you modify the values originally placed on the constraint.
Reaction Forces	Displays the Reaction Forces dialog box with the Reaction force and Reaction moment values. The values display zero until results of a simulation are available.
Suppress	Suppresses the selected constraint. When a constraint is suppressed, some other context menu entries are not available.
Copy	Copies the selected constraint. Select the Constraints folder and use the context menu Paste command to apply the copied constraint.
Delete	Deletes the selected constraint.
