    Hi,

     

    from Radioss help:

     

    Master nodes of an interface TYPE2 may be slave nodes of another interface TYPE2 only if the hierarchy level of the first interface is lower than the hierarchy level of the second interface. Hierarchy levels are only available with Spotflag =2. It does not work if Spotflag =0 or Spotflag =1.

     

    A possible workaround is using Spotflag=2, which corresponds to the default formulation (Spotflag=0); except that it is not compatible with /DT/NODA/CST.
