Fixed Constraint
Use the
Fixed Constraint
node to set all displacements on the selected geometric entity (boundary, edge, or point) to zero.
To constrain interfaces between the material layers, use
Fixed Constraint, Interface
.
Shell Properties
Select the layer or layers on which this constraint is to be used.

All other settings are described in the documentation for
Fixed Constraint
