I am trying to set up a simply supported beam that rests on two pin joints that I have set up. Although it seems once I have simulated the stress analysis that the pins do not rotate as the beam deflects. I would like the flat part of the pin to follow the surface of the underside of the beam. How can i enable this to happen?
