Fixing Two Edges

To fix two edges of the plate:

  1. In the Study 1 study tree, right-click the Fixtures icon and select Fixed Geometry.
  2. In the PropertyManager:
    1. In the graphics area, select the two edges shown in the figure below.
      Selected edges appear in the Faces, Edges, Vertices for Fixture box select_edge_faces_vertex.png.
    2. Click PM_OK.gif.
