i want to equivalence only conmass to rest of the model


i want to equivalence only con mass elements with rest of the model.while giving shift + f3 equivalence elements within the model is also getting equivalence which need not to be done.
thanks jamie


Hi
-turn off conmass
-shif f3 > preview equivalence > save
-shift f5 > find attached > find elems attached to saved nodes > save these elems
-f5 mask saved elems
-turn on conmass and equivalence them to remained displayed elems
ya tinh ..this logic is perfect....but not every time the saved elems are getting masked.
Hi Jamie
Try this way
-turn off conm
-shift f3 > preview > save nodes
-1d>rigid retrieve saved nodes and bind them by 1 rigid
-shift f3 select option 'retain: highest id' > preview > save nodes
-1d>rigid bind saved nodes by another rigid
now display only 2 rigids and bind all of their nodes by one other rigids
so those nodes cannot be equivalence
you can equivalence conm with rest of model
