fix Command

This command is used to construct a number of single-point homogeneous boundary constraints.

fix $nodeTag (ndf $constrValues)

Argument Type Description
$nodeTag [in teger]{.t itle-ref} unique tag identifying the node to be constrained
$con strValues
ndf constraint values (0 or 1) corresponding to the ndf
degrees-of-freedom.
0 unconstrained (or free)
1 constrained (or fixed)

Example:

The following examples demonstrate the commands in a script to add homogeneous boundary conditions

to nodes 1 and 2 for a model with ndf of 6. Node 1 is specified to be totally fixed, node 2 is only constrained in the second and fifth degree-of-freedom.
