Dear Friends,

 

in my geometry I have two components in which I want to apply Multi constraint Points (MPC), these I want to between two different element which have Hexa and tetra mesh.

 

I want to use Equation>nodes from dependent and Independent and make degree of freedom but which points I have to choose? that I didn't understand

 

Please guide me.

 

Thank you

 

Regards,

Jay Nayak

    @Nayak,

     

    You can have temporary nodes. Shift+F2>> select nodes on the face and create nodes.
