Maintain forces while deleting connected RBE2

Hi,

 

For a project I used RBE2 elements to connect the independent node, where the force is applied, to other nodes. I would like to delete some of the RBE2, but then the forces on the independent node delete themselves as well. Is there a way to keep them?

 

Thank you!

    Hi Inge,

     

    the forces are deleted together with RBE2, because they are no longer referenced by any node after deletion.

    In order to keep the forces create temporary nodes (shift+F2) on independent nodes (where force is applied).

    Hi, 
    Thanks for the response! Creating temporary nodes was indeed necessary.
