Editing BC

(OP)
I have this plate with two analytical rigid pins. I have almost managed to enter all the right inputs to run the simulation (followed the pull hinge tutorial). My problem is that i do not know how is the right way to BC the plate.(needs to me able to rotate around the pins (deform)). When i apply rotational BC to (U1U2U3) random face on the plate the simulation runs fine, despite the fact a do not need to fix any faces on plate and it says there are 3 unconnected regions in the model.
