restriction of degrees of freedom

      I'm doing a modal analysis on a free-free steel plate and want to restrict UX,UZ,ROTX,ROTY and ROTZ on all nodes before running the solution and then extracting the vectors

      Hi,

      Use D command.

      I used this command and the following information appears but without a solution 

      D ,All,UX,UZ,ROTX,ROTY,ROTZ,0,

      Do you have an example of a D command to restrict degree of freedom on all nodes

      Estou trabalhando com 25 nós e usei este código

      CSYS, 1

      D, TODOS, UX

      D, TODOS, UZ

      D, TODOS, ROTX

      D, TODOS, ROTY
      D, TODOS, ROTZ
      NSEL, TODOS
      ACABAR

      e eu tinha uma matriz 25 * 25 por ser o número de nós vezes o grau de liberdade, mas eu tenho frequências naturais iguais a zero em todos os modos. Eu gostaria de saber se este resultado está correto

      Hi Massochy

      This command is not quite correct:  D ,All,UX,UZ,ROTX,ROTY,ROTZ,0,

      Please see the MAPDL Command Help entry on the D command for the description of the commands fields.  But most likely you wanted:  d,all,ux,0,,,,uz,rotx,roty,rotz

      I wonder if with these commands I can restrict the degrees of freedoms??

      What do you mean by restrict?

      I'm doing a modal analysis on a free-free steel plate in order to extract stiffness matrix, mass matrix and the vectors corresponding to the vibration modes for each natural frequency. in order to reduce the values ​​of the matrices so I intend to restrict some degrees of freedom all nodes since the matrix is ​​formed by the multiplication between numbers of nodes and the degrees of freedom (in this case they are 6)..
