Hi, nYou can use LSPP to constraint the nodes (individually or using a set id), LSPP -> Model and part -> Create entity -> Boundary SPC -> Cre -> Set -> select nodes (in pick nodes dialog, using element option with 'Prop' turned on allows you to grab nodes of entire surface with a single click). n(or) You can also create the set first (Create entity -> SET_NODE) and then go to Keyword manager -> All -> *BOUNDARY_SPC_SET keyword and select the set id and DOF. Note that DOFX =1 constraints x translational DOF (0 = no constraint). Please refer *BOUNDARY card in LS-DYNA user's manual for more information. n
