Hello,

I want to move a simple plate with specific velocity. I create rigid element of plate and apply imposed velocity to master node. but it wont work. But for same set up, when i applied imposed velocity constrain to all nodes of plate rather than master node. It works.

what was my mistake in case of rigid?

    Hi,

    Normally loads and BCs are applied on the Master node of RBODY. and it will work.

    Please review the model and ensure that the master node of the rigid body is selected for applying the load.

    Hi

    Most of the times if you are not using calculate node and specifying an externally created node, this may cause problem some time. Make sure while creating rigids you create using calculate nodes and then select the node created automatically.

    Thanks
