Activity: Apply a fixed constraint


  1. Open the model document, FE_I-Beam_Sim.par, which contains a structural study and a predefined force load.

    Simulation models are delivered in the \Program Files\UDS\QY CAD 2022\Training\Simulation folder.

  2. Place a fixed constraint:

    1. Select Simulation tab→Constraints group→Fixed.

    2. Zoom in on the right end of the beam. Use QuickPick to select the end face.

      A preview of the fixed constraint appears on the face.

    3. Enlarge the constraint symbol size by selecting the Symbol Size/Spacing button on the Constraints command bar, and then moving the top slider towards Large. Click OK to update the symbol.

    4. To finish placing the constraint, right-click or press Enter.

  3. Click Fit to see the beam with the fixed constraint as well as the previously applied force.

  4. Close this file:
