-Intact.Simulation for Grasshopper can restrain surfaces or meshed surfaces to be fixed in all (default) or mixtures of coordinate directions.  Restraints are applied to faces of components participating in the simulation by connecting to the Restraints input on the stress solver component.
+The FixedRestraint block in Intact.Simulation for Grasshopper can restrain surfaces or meshed surfaces to be fixed in all directions.  Restraints are applied to faces of components participating in the simulation by connecting to the Restraints input on the stress solver component.
+If you need a non-homogenous restraint (fixing displacement to a non-zero value along some axis) or a partial restraint (only fixing some axis) please use the [[wiki:sns:intactgh:displacementbc|displacement boundary condition]].
