Restrain X

The Restrain X option is used to apply zero X-displacement boundary conditions.

The nodes will be free to move in the Y direction only. The X displacement will be fixed at zero throughout the analysis.

Nodes restrained in the X direction are indicated by vertical "roller" symbols, when Restraints are displayed, as configured in the Display Options dialog.

See the Applying Restraints topic for information about applying restraints.
