    By default weight factor would be set to 1 for independent and dependent node which user can update later.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply. Yes you are right, but can you explain why and what will happen if i set RBE3 weight factor of dependent node ' 0 ' and independent node ' 1 '.

    The 'dependent' node is the 'slave' node, whose displacement is controlled by the weighted average of the 'independent' or 'master' nodes.
