How to change the orientation of Pinned Constraint in Inventor Frame Analysis

[puneetbharti01893]

Dear Inventor Users, 

I am facing a problem with constraint, in Inventor Frame Analysis. 

As marked in attached screenshot we can see the orientation of pinned constraint is not the right. first two constraints are floating type, and we have an option to change the orientation for that. 

But solution I found for this problem is to change the orientation of Skelton model. 

May, be pinned and fixed constraint will not affect anything in any direction, means they are not orientation dependent.

Please help me to understand the concept. 

If anybody have any suggestions, please share with me.

Hi!

The placement of Pinned is ruled by the direction of gravity.
The Pinned constraints applied when no displacement and free rotation is allowed on beam or node, so i believe is not dependent of the direction, all degrees of freedom are fixed.

As a workaround, you can switch temporarily the gravity direction to have all Pinned constrains in the direction you like (despite this is only a visual detail), and at the end, place/edit the gravity force back to the correct direction.
