Can I prevent prescribed displacements

Hi,
When I apply forces (in my case by boundary loads) I have add things that keep the object in place. Currently I tried to use prescribed displacement for this. However it seems that an object that is under prescribed displacement cannot be deformed (correct me if I am wrong) even in directions that aren't fixed. Now from the additional options (Symetry, Roller,... I didn't understand that much from the description). In the simple case of a cube under shear forces, what can I add that will keep it in place (solver find a solution) without impacting it's deformation in any way.
