RBE2/KINCOUP Reconnecting elements

Mesh1

Hello Friends, 

I have RBE2/KINCOUP that I changed the mesh, and the connection is broken.  Is there a way to reconnect without having to recreate the RBE2 at each node ?

 

Thank you.

you don't need to recreate the whole thing. Just need to select the RBE and update the node selection.

I order to make your life easier upon selection, have you tried using the 'faces' selection, instead of selecting nodes 1 by 1?

It saves a lot of time on selection.

Million Dollar answer sir!   Yes, that worked very well.

Hi Adriano, 

Do you know if I can do the same with contacts ?

when you change you mesh, and need to update many different things, you could use 'Replace' Part, to change all at once, updating your old mesh with a new one, including contacts, rbe's, etc.

This wokrs by replacing an old mesh by a new one, and updating contacts, and other stuff, within a specified tolerance..
