Rigid Surface to represent contact components
Casper Kruger

Hi,
I am trying to model a bearing and is only interested in the outer casing. Is it possible to model the cylinder components (in yellow) as rigid 2D shell elements with no material assigned only rigid shell so reduce the computational effort of the solver? I have done this in other solvers, but not sure how to do this in optistruct.
Thank you,

Hi
Please refer to RBODY in the OptiStruct documentation
I hope this is helpful
