    Fixing all nodes in the model in one DOF

    I have a model that I am comparing to a solution in a different FE program that simulates plane strain by fixing the y-displacement of all of the nodes in the model (the model is using linear hex elements). Is there a way to select all of the nodes and apply a fixed displacement BC to them, like we can do for surfaces. I have tried selecting all of the visible nodes on the surfaces by picking, but that does not get all of the nodes (I suspect the interior nodes are unselected).

    Thanks,

    Hi Doug,

    You can assign the part to the boundary condition's selection. That will apply the bc to all the nodes of the part, including interior nodes.
