    In short:

    • RBE2 = a rigid element which adds stiffness
    • RBE3 = an interpolation element used to distribute mass and loads

    b)also in 3-D both the component having a surface contact because of mid-surface there is some gap is obtained between these two component. Is there any need to give contacts between these two components.?
