I would like to connect the 3D Solid mesh to the 2D shell mesh. Is it recommended to use RBE 2 or RBE 3? At the moment the edges are not connected. Since the solid mesh is much refiner how do I connect the nodes of both body? An example with pictures would be much appreciated. image

    I don't know exactly how to do with Altair's solvers.

    But I can confirm you that you CAN NOT use RBE3 for this purpose.

    You can try using FREEZE contact to couple the 3D and 2D.
