Difference between Planer support and Frictionless support

      What is the difference between Planer Support and Frictionless Support?

      I transferred the data to AIM, and I confirmed Planer Support fix translation Z and rotation X, Y. Frictionless Support probably fix only translation Z.

      I think that both of them will have the same effect if applied for solid face, because solid elements has no rotational DOFs.

      What kind of scenario is planned to use Planer Support?

      Both of them basically have the same application but frictionless is more generic. We may consider removing it in the future releases to avoid redundancy.
