Fixed Pin

Tap (the Fixed Pin icon) to create a fixed pin support. The fixed pin support enables rotation at its tip point. It decreases the degrees of freedom (DOF) by 2.

To place a fixed pin, tap at any point on an existing element. Then optionally drag the pin axis to change the pin angle. Fixed pin angles do not affect the calculation results.

To replace an existing support with a fixed pin, start the Fixed Pin command from the context menu of the replaced support.
