Beam Release Icons
When you create a beam release, the software displays a graphical icon on the beam, positioned toward the end to which the release is applied. The icon is a triad, with each leg of the triad representing the X, Y, and Z directions. The X direction is aligned with the positive X direction of the beam, the Y direction with the positive Y direction.

The software does not display beam releases by default. Click Simulation Display on the In-graphics toolbar to open the Simulation Display dialog box to select to display beam releases.
If a degree of freedom is released in any direction, Creo Simulate adds the appropriate indicator to the icon:
arrow head—indicates a translational release of the degree of freedom for the indicated direction
ring—indicates a rotational release of the degree of freedom for the indicated direction
In the following illustration, the beam release has degrees of freedom released in all six directions:
