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 can use both: BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION_.. as well as BOUNDARY_SPC. But you should take care that there are no conflicts between both definitions like for example fixing a  certain degree of freedom (DOF) via BOUNDARY_SPC and at the same time applying a displacement boundary condition to that DOF via BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION_...

You also can define BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION for all DOFs of intertest. For the DOFs that should be fixed you simply can define zero displacement curves over time.
