How to reflect the model with area connectors properly?
Hi, everyone.
I encountered a problem when I reflected a model with area connectors. The model is symmetric, but the whole model must be analyzed in some cases. I reflected the original half model (half model.hm) about xz plane of AxisSystem1 (ID=1) by using *duplicateentities and *reflectmarkwithoption and *equivalence commands, then merged the same components and load collectors. However, the analysis of the symmetry model (symmetry.hm ) cannot be executed properly and gives too much errors such as,

The errors in .out file reflect that the RBE3 elements in the reflected Glue component have wrong information. The RBE3 elements seem not to be reflected properly.
BTW, the half model can be analyzed normally.
I don't know where the problem is. Can anybody gives me some advices?
Thanks.
