Is it possible to constrain a single node so my model does not take off? I have a wedge model and would like to hold a node and not a surface correctly. I currently have model that is at equilibrium with a 200# reaction load and a 1M VonMises stress. This should not happen.
Darrin,
If the model is in equilibrium (all the force.moments are balanced) , you do not have to constrain the geometry. You can use inertial relief (under Properties). Or you can use soft springs to stabilize the geometry but that may lead to inaccurate results.
