rigid bodies load transfer

I have two rigid bodies in my simulation in hypermesh (radioss solver) with revolute joint between each other. The master node of one rigid body experience some force and I want to transfer this force on rigid body 2 by this revolute joint connection. Is there a way to transfer this force from master node of one rigid body to the master node or the slave node of the other rigid body.

Regards

    Hi, 

    Has anyone tried doing this? is it possible to transfer loads from one rigid body to another rigid body?

    Hi,

    I tried to apply 20N of force on the slave node of one rigid body. This body is connected to another rigid body with a rigid joint (KJOINT45) just at the location of master node of 1st rigid body. The applied 20N force on slave node comes on the master node as 20N,but I want to transfer this force on the second rigid body as I have a rigid connection. But it seems that having a rigid joint between two slave nodes cannot do this and there is no way to define KJOINT between the master node and slave node of rigid body. Can anyone help me find out how to transfer the force on the second body using a joint connection between two.

    Your image is not clear.

    Pls describe real phenomena of what you are modelling
