I am trying to constrain the plane of a face. For example: I have a square tube crossbeam and I want to apply a load on the cross sectional face, but I don't want the face to go out of its plan. I tried an enforced directional constraint, but I can't do more than one direction for that plane, or at least its not allowing me to.

Which constraint can I use to allow a face do not translate in the x-z plane but can in the x-y plane. thanks
