Supports (2D + x-torsion)

Fixed Support (Wall)

Provides Reactions
RAx , RAy , TAx , TAz

Can give all forces and moments

Simple Support ( Hinge , Pin)

Provides Constraints (BC)

uAx = u(x=xwall) = 0
uAy = v(x=xwall) = 0
Ax = (x=xwall)= 0
Az = (x=xwall)= 0
Prevents all displacements
and rotations

RAx , RAy
uAx = u(x=xhinge) = 0
uAy = v(x=xhinge) = 0
Does not give moments

Frictionless Support ( Roller , Slider)

Does not prevent rotations

RAy (for roller along x)

uAy = v(x=xroller) = 0

Only Force to rolling plane

Only prevents u to rolling plane
