Simulation & "pin constraints"

Simulation & "pin constraints"

Simulation & "pin constraints"

(OP)
Hello wavey2

soooo.. I'm a bit unsure what this contraint does, or does not do.

For instance does this also constraint the "pin" itself in space?

I wanted to use this on a tube that was being clamped with a pipe clamp, but was not able to hold the pipe in place, i.e. undercontraint and ended up fixing both pipe ends to constrict the pipe from moving, but at the same time allowing the pipe to deform as a result of the clamp.

Any input highly appreciated!
