Applying a Fixture

You apply a fixture at one edge of the model and a force at the other edge.

To fix the left edge of the model:

1. Click the down arrow on Fixtures Advisor (Simulation CommandManager) and select Fixed Geometry.
   The Fixture PropertyManager appears.

   The Fixed restraint sets translations and rotations of all points along the selected edge to zero.
2. In the graphics area, click the left edge of the model as shown in the figure.
   Edge<1> appears in the Faces, Edges, Vertices for Fixture box .

   

3. Click .
   Unlike solid models, fixing an edge is adequate to stabilize a shell model.
