Hi,

 

Is there a reason for using RBE3?

 

Can you check with RBE2 instead?

Altair Forum User

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

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

 

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

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