FE Surface Edge Supports and Restraints

Support or restraint conditions can be specified to apply to the edge of Finite Element surfaces. These restraints are defined relative to the Global axis system and can apply translational or rotational restraint. Restraints to an FE surface must be applied to an FE surface edge, but the edge can be a boundary between two or more FE surfaces.

For details of the use an application of the FE surface edge restraints, refer to the Finite Element Chapter of the manual.
