Plain constraints

Anyone know any reference available for constraints Plainhandler? It cannot be used for multi-supports excitation with displacement loading, right?

PlainConstraints can only handle homogeneous single point constraints, i.e. = 0.0 and
multi point constraints created using equalDOF, i.e. identity matrix for transformation.

fmk, thank you very much. Where can I find some reference about the theoretical background of this handler?

i believe the cook book covers constraints pretty well.
look at the manual description of constraints and in the reference section for the book reference.
