    Hi Arul,

    To make a component rigid, select rigids from 1D panel and select the component or elements to wish to make rigid. Create a separate component collector for rigids and assign no card image, no material and property for the same.

    You can apply loads on the master node of the rigid body. From Utility menu, select RBODY manager and you can see the rigid body created and also the master node id. While creating the load either enter this node id or directly select the master node of the rigid body.
