Member Restraint Conditions

Member Restraints allow a member to have its restraint defined at one location along its length. They allow specification of restraint in two different ways: by use of a relatively user-friendly dialog box, or by an abbreviated mnemonic text syntax.

Restraints at Points

You can define restraint conditions along the length of 1D Members, which can be either be at points or along spans. Points are marked by nodes that lie on the member whereas a span is made up of at least one constituent element along the member.
