Step 5. Edit Nodes |

After the preparation of the Model on screen, you need to do some corrections on the Nodes that have been generated. For example you may want to: •Move Nodes to their exact positions, if needed. •Define or change Nodal Constraints (Supports). •Define Springs, if needed.
Click
We get the Nodes form as follows:
We see that the Y coordinate of nodes B and C is 2.6 [m], which needs to be corrected to the right value, 2.598076211 [m]. We click on the two cells and we correct the value. Then the table should look like this: What we need to do is to add Constraints (Supports) to the Model. Set the Constraints for Nodes A and B to "pinned", as follows:
Then Click OK. The Model should now look like this:
The supports have been added to Nodes A and C as shown above, and Nodes B and C are now in their correct locations.
