Hi all,I am very new to working with HyperWorks. Currently I am modelling a part which has riveted connections. The part is a top cover made from a single large sheet metal piece. On the edges the sheet metal is curved and the flanges have holes which are connected by rivets. I tried to create RBE2 nodes for the holes and then to define rivet connecting two adjacent nodes. But the rivet failed to get realized. Is my approach incorrect? Can rivets be defined only between two separate parts? Attached is the model.Thanks in advance.
I assume you're using connectors to do this.
Connectors can be created in different manners, but in your case:
1) organize your elements to another component, and use the 'components' connection
or
2) change to 'element' selection for creating your connectors.
Usually it is best to separate your parts in different components.
