Hi everybody,
does anyone know why in Hypermesh software constraints allow 6 degrees of freedom on a solid mesh model, if for a solid mesh only 3 degrees of translational freedom are allowed?
Thank you

    If you constraint 6 dofs of solid element you will see a warning message says that it affects to only 3 dofs. If nodes are shared among solid elem and shell/beam elem, it will affects to 6 dofs. Hypermesh is designed that in order to be useful in many situations.
