3.1.4.2. fixX Command

This command is used to construct multiple homogeneous single-point boundary constraints for all nodes whose x-coordinate lies within a specified distance from a specified coordinate.

Argument	Type	Description
$xCoordinate	float	x-coordinate of nodes to be constrained
$constrValues	list integer	ndf constraint values (0 or 1) corresponding to the ndf degrees-of-freedom. 0 unconstrained (or free) 1 constrained (or fixed)
$tol	float	user-defined tolerance (optional: default = 1e-10)

Example:

The following example demonstrate the command to fix the first 3 degrees-of-freedom at all nodes in the model at x location 0.0.

1. Tcl Code

fixX 0.0 1 1 1 0 0 0

2. Python Code

fixX(0.0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)
