Disconnecting spring from rigid body

Hi, 

 

I have a spring connected between two components that I have made rigid bodies. I would like to update the connection between the spring and the rigid body. I went to 1D -> rigids -> update -> connectivity. My understanding is that I should right click on the nodes I want to disconnect from the rigid body. However, I do not see any nodes. Can anyone help me figure out how to get the nodes to show up so that I can disconnect them? 

 

Thanks!

    HI,

    It is possible to update the connectivity of a rigid link element from this panel.

    The steps are as follows:

    •Indicate which element you want to update by picking it on your model. Once the rigid element is select the nodes will be displayed.

    •To add or remove dependent node(s), click nodes after dependent: and click the node(s) on the model with the left mouse button to add the node(s) or with the right mouse button to remove the node(s).
