    What is the application, if I may ask? Definitely you can create the gaps at the same location. In my mind, most probably the easiest way is to duplicate them in the text file. But also, if you are doing this for load transfer, why not cbush?

    Hi, Thanks for the reply. The application is for a sipgot joint with out of plane load transfer as well. it requires gap simulation hence not sure if cbush is correct elem to use.

    i don't think i know enough about those kind of joints to understand the usecase with the information you posted, but again, i don't see why you could not use multiple cgap. Share here if it works or not!
