Hi

For roller Can I use”simply supported” boundary condition or use displacement boundary condition by making one direction free?

I would use Y = 0 (perhaps Z=0), assuming Y is along the height and X along the length of the beam (so use displacement boundary condition).

For the other one use X=Y=Z = 0 on an edge (so fixed support on that edge as shown below in the video).
