Constraints-Pin Constraint

This tool allows you to constrain locations on a model before setting a load and running a Stress analysis.

To access this tool, click Pin Constraint (Boundary Conditions tab > Constraints and Loads panel > Constraints > Pin Constraint).

The Pin ConstraintPin Constraint command is used to constrain all translational degrees of freedom at the selected location(s), but allow rotation. Select the locations to be constrained with the mouse, click Apply, and then the fixed constraint(s) will be displayed on the model.
