We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi

A fixed support on a beam should give a DX=DY=DZ=ROTX=ROTT=ROTZ =0, so all degrees of freedom for a beam node equal 0.

With nodal displacements you can set the the translational degrees of freedom (DX,DY,DZ) as needed to a value (DX=value,...).

Hope this explains everything
