Difference between RBEs and CE_STRUCT

Altair Forum User

What is difference between RBEs and CE_STRUCT in Hypermesh. Can I use RBE3 instead of CE_STRUCT ?

Hi Jigar,

 

Can you provide the source of CE_Struct?

 

What is the purpose for using RBE3?

In analysis panel under equations you get CE_STRUCT under load types option.

Now I have contacts between several components under my assembly. My job is rested on a fixture.I will be importing my meshed model into Ansys APDL. For defining contacts I am confused between rbes & cestruct.

Jigar,

 

Are you modelling Ansys deck?

 

I don't see any CE_STRUCT in OptiStruct under analysis>>Equations>>LoadType. See the attached image.

 

If your question is based on Ansys solver, I suggest you to contact Ansys support instead.
