I am unable to create 2 RBEs, with both using the same surface as slave.

Error mesage that I get is:

Unable to create RBE element

INFO: 1) Nodes may be used by other connecton objects (or)

2) Due to radius specifies.

How to solve this?

Thank you!

    Hi,

    can you clarify what are you trying to accomplish with 2 RBE2s in the same face/nodes?

    This is probably been blocked due to kinematic incompatibility that would be created.

     

    The same node cannot be dependent of 2 different RBE2 element. Creating 2 RBE2 in the same face would result on that (except if different DOFs were selected)

    Do you have a reason for creating this?
