Leslie,

 

I think Bar B Pin B is completely free right?

 

To release Dof pin, enter the value of Dof in Pin a and Pin b fields.

you means:

 

Bar A: pin a : 0  pin b; 456

Bar B: pin a : 0  pin b; 0

 

what can i write in pin a/b, 123456?

for Bar B: pin a is 456 which means allowing rotational DoF in all three directions.

 

same way for Bar B: Pin b (if you want to allow translation and rotation) input 123456
