Equal Constraints

 

 

 

It allows you to define a generic constraint at one or two nodes.   An equal displacement constraint is one type of multi-DOF constraint.  

 

A regular support and multi-DOF constraints may be applied on the same node as long as the support/constrained directions do not interfere with each other.

 

Multi-DOF constraint forces and moments are listed separately from the regular support reactions in the analysis results.
