Create MPC for 3D element

What's your final goal of using MPC?

He is doing homework about mpc, i think so!

Alex, Could you take photo of mpc definition? Dofs & nodes?

Dear Mr. Tinh and Mr. Q.Nguyen Dai

I have a assembly structure between bolt and hole. My mission has to connect them together by match node and MPC node. (green line in below figure)

Weight factor of Dependent node= -1 and Weight factor of Independent = +1 for each DOF

But after I create mesh bolt and hole (ensure match node), then I create MPC, and MPC warn that ' DOF on grid 704 appears twice in equation, please modify dof selections'. 

I also wonder why need create MPC while these nodes ( between bolt and hole) were matched together (coincident node). Or maybe because these nodes were matched together so MPC can not created?

Thank so much Mr. Tinh and Mr. Q.Nguyen Dai

Yeah, i understand.

2 nodes are concident => so you cannot pick them separatedly.

You pick n704 as dependent, and then pick overlapped one as independent but hypermesh catches n704 so n704 was selected for both dep and indep=>

Press O to enter panel Options>graphics> activate 'concident picking' and try again.

Are you sure there are 2 nodes ? In case you equivalenced them (shift F3), you have to detach (panel 3d>detach)

If you shared nodes (equivalenced), you don't need mpc because there's only 1 node.

You did not answer question of @Q.Nguyen-Dai ?  I want to know your goal, too.

Thank you Mr.Tinh

Yeah, I understood. 

I'm very sorry for forget answer question of @Q.Nguyen-Dai. My goal of using MPC is calculate Nonlinear Static Structure( stress, displacement, deformation). Really I also only know that much.

I'm be grateful Mr.Tinh so much. I remember this is third time you support me about MPC problem/emoticons/default_biggrin.png' srcset='/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x' title=':D' width='20' />. Thank you so much

Best regard @tinh and @Q.Nguyen-Dai

Hey. I'm experiencing the same problem. I was trying to resolve it somehow, but I wasn't lucky.

oh... I have the same problem. really. I don't know what to do 

HI @matthampton and @DawnPeterson

As above tutorials, You should not equivalence 'couple nodes'. Make ensure that One node in number ID is 'a', and another node which number ID is 'b' .

You let try. I had finish it.

Thank you everyone

Best Regards
