Hello everyone,
Is it possible to give constraint in only on direction (like the body is constrained in positive x direction but free in negative x direction)?

Bharat
Hi Bharat,
What is the use case and what is the type of analysis you are simulating?

Hi,
CGAP elements may help you in this case
All,
If the physics of the problem allows, here is the procedure to accomplish:
1. Create a duplicate node and translate it along positive X direction (any small distance.) 2. Create a gap element such that N1--> N2 is directed in positive X direction. (Make sure to place the gap element in separate collector) 3. Create a PGAP property and assign it to the CGAP element. 4. Card edit the PGAP property and enter KB = 2E+20 (basically a high value) This will restrict the motion of the node (N1) in positive X direction.
Hello Prakash and tinh,
Thanks for the reply.
