We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

You cant "block " the body without applying constraints. The command you have issued does the same thing - fixes all dofs of the remote point scoped to the end faces (i.e fixes the face). If you want to use the deformed geometry in a stress free state, you simply add another static structural analysis and connect the solution cell to the model cell. You can then perform the second step in the new static structural. But again you will need enough constraints to prevent rigid body motion.
