Hello Team,

I am currently trying my hands on flexible bodies analysis. I have been following few videos and they all suggest to click on an option called as "Create RBE2 spiders" but in my student version of 2024, it is disabled and I have tried to look for help in discussion but I could not found any thread regarding this problem.

Can someone tell me is it a glitch or is there something which was wrong during software download?

    Hi @Sharma_rahul,

    The "Create RBE2 Spiders" option will take you to a new HyperMesh instance to add the entities, so is it possible you do not have HyperMesh installed?

    Hope this helps!

    Hello @GTT Adam,

    Thank you for your reply.

    Hypermesh is installed and works well in my system. I wonder whether or not this option is no longer available in student version.

    Hi @Sharma_rahul,

    That may be the case, but it could also be due to whatever file you have selected for the input.

    If you open a new session of MotionView and open the FlexPrep Tool, is the option still greyed out?

    Hope this helps!
