Define a Rigid Body

      Hello,

      Sorry for the simple question, I'm a beginner in ANSYS. I have a model in Ansys Mechanical, consisting of 6 bodies.

      I am just trying to make one of the bodies rigid. However, I don't seem to find any option in my Student Version of Ansys. Under Geometry, I can click on the "Solid" body but there is no option to change any property. Is this function perhaps not available in the Student Version?

      Thank you for any help.

      Martin

      if you could post a photo of the body, that might be helpful for us to see how we can help and what sort of constraints we can apply to it to make it a rigid body

      Thank you for your reply!
      The function I was missing was just hidden. With "Ctrl+D" I could the "Details" pane visible, where it is possible to switch between Flexible and Rigid Behaviour
