Fixed Constraint (Rigid Domain)
The Fixed Constraint node adds a condition that makes the entire rigid domain fixed (fully constrained). The displacements and rotations are zero in all directions. There are no settings for this node. See Rigid Domain.
Reaction Force Settings
Select Evaluate reaction forces to compute the reaction force caused by the constriant. The default is to not compute the reaction force. When selected, the constraint is implemented as a weak constraint.
Select Apply reaction only on rigid body variables to use a unidirectional constraint for enforcing the prescribed motion. The default is that bidirectional constraints are used. For a fixed constraint, there is no effect of changing this setting.

The Fixed Constraint and Prescribed Displacement/Rotation. subnodes cannot be combined for a Rigid Domain.
