Hi,

Is there a reason for using RBE3?

Can you check with RBE2 instead?

Altair Forum User

thank you for your reply

yes, the reason for using RBE3 is that is the bolt connexion

Hi @HamzaIbrahmi

Looks like the RBE3 independent nodes are connected to solid elements (which don't have rotational DoFs)

You can either edit the RBE3 and release the independent nodes DoFs in RBE3 panel>> Update

thank you very mush

please how can i access in this window ?

Altair Forum User

Go to 1D panel>> RBE3>> Update>> Dofs

Please note that you need to select each and every independent node of RBE3

i did that but i have this error now

@HamzaIbrahmi

But HM should automatically take care of rbe3 Independent Dofs for solids.

Is it possible to share the model file?

Please use the file transfer link in my signature to share the model file
