I'm not an avid user of Ansys APDL.
How can I apply this constraint on an open ended thin walled cylinder (modeled as a volume with solid elements)?
Note: the axis of my cylinder is in the z direction

-One end fixed in all 6 DOF's
- Other end free to translate in z direction and free radial expansion only (all other DOF fixed)
I want to do this in cylindrical co-ordinate system. How can I do this?
Thanks
