*KINEMATIC COUPLING

3. Last degree of freedom constrained. If this field is left blank, the degree of freedom specified

in the second field will be the only one constrained.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to specify constraints at different nodes and degrees of
freedom. When the ORIENTATION parameter is specified, the degrees of freedom are in the referenced
local system in the initial configuration; otherwise, they are in the global system. In either case these
directions will rotate with the reference node in large-displacement analyses (when the NLGEOM
parameter is included on the *STEP option).
