Displacement constrain on geometry

I want to restrict degree of freedom in y-axis and z-axis, so the model is only allowed to move freely in X-axis direction like the example in ANSYS. Where we can assign displacement boundary conditions of the geometry.

I am not able to find such option to restrict displacement motion on the geometry in SimSolid. So that my model will only allowed to move freely in X- direction only.

    Hi Yash,

    You can apply an enforced displacement of 0 along Y and Z directions from force/displacement dialog. Just switch from force to displacement using drop down option.
