Hi Oggy,
I dont see there is a direct conversion for this. You have to do this manually.

Hi prakash,
Can you please tell me how to convert the elements to rigid wall & Do we have to assign any property for that

Hi Ajay,
You cannot convert existing elements in to a rigid wall. But if needed you can make the existing elements rigid by creating rigid on those elements.
For creating a rigid wall, select a base node and select the type and choose the normal vector. For rigid walls there is no need to assign any material or property.

Thanks john for giving reply
I want to move the Rigid wall that hit the part.It is one type of impact analysis. So how can set up the simulation And can define load Vs Time curve to rigid wall is it possible.

Hi Ajay,
It is possible to provide velocity to the rigid wall but we cannot provide it as a function.
In that case create a surface, make it rigid and you can provide an imposed displacement load with displacement vs time function.

HI Ajay,
From 1D panel>Rigids, select the elements and create rigid.
Please go through https://altairuniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Crash_Box_1.pdf tutorial where all these steps are shown.

Hi Ajay,
Please try with the attached files.
The surface was not rigid. I made it rigid and applied the loads.The interface was also properly defined.
