Degrees of Freedom of leg

[konan90]

I am doing an FEA analysis on the human leg from femoral head up to lower tibia (excluding the pelvis and the ankle). I know where to place the forces but i don't know how to constrain the assembly.

In other words, you do not know FEM. You *must* start playing with *the simplest* problems first before you start playing in 3D.
