I've been at this for hours and could not for the life of me figure this out.
I have attached my abaqus file consisting of a basic triangular structure with an actuator. The issue I am having is this...the corner located at the right angle of the structure is not acting as a pin, causing massive deflection and I'm not sure why.

Could someone please help me? I've played around with the BC and I can't seem to get it to work.

Much appreciated!
Adam
