The fermionic exchange symmetry does not only imply Pauli's exclusion principle but even further constraints on fermionic occupation numbers. For concrete systems, these generalized Pauli constraints are particularly relevant whenever they are (approximately) saturated. In the form of a comprehensive analysis of an analytically solvable model (Harmonium) we explore the occurrence of such (quasi)pinning. By analyzing the strength of quasipinning as function of the particle number, coupling strength, spatial dimension and degree of spin polarization we reveal the mechanism behind it. It is the conflict of energy minimization and fermionic exchange symmetry. Consequently, our results suggest the existence of a microscopic Pauli pressure which forces the system into an approximate saturation of the generalized Pauli constraints.
