No Rotation
The No Rotation node adds an edge, boundary, domain, or point condition that fixes the rotations around all axes. The translations are not constrained.
Face Defining the Local Orientations
This setting is used in conjunction with weak constraints. In order to be able to interpret the orientations to which the Lagrange multipliers are defined, you must know to which boundary they are applied. Select the boundary which should be used when setting up the weak constraints. The default is Use face with lowest number.

You can activate and deactivate this boundary condition by assigning it to a constraint group. See Load Cases in the Structural Mechanics Modeling chapter.
