Constrain translation, but not rotation
Constrain translation, but not rotation
(OP)
Hi,
In WB.
How can I constrain a surface's translation and still allow it to rotate?

RE: Constrain translation, but not rotation
I used elastic supports. I figured that the rotation is small and therefore permitted by the elastic support.
The problem with elastic supports, in my case, is that the rigid body motion becomes large compared to the deformations in the material. Hence, it's difficult to magnify and visualize the deformations.
I think that remote displacement supports would have been a better choice and I'll keep that in mind till next time.
