Static Condensation in Hypermesh

Hi Users,

I am only a novice user of hypermesh to mesh components for export to other tools. However, I need to become familiar with how to perform a static condensation of components containing rbe2/3's. There are no interface elements involved. I just need to export the reduced stiffness matrix containing these rbe's.

Can anyone prvide information on a step by step tutorial to condense using optistruct via the hypermesh interface? I have a very simple meshed bar with 2 rbes as an example that I would like to use (as attached).

Any information will be appreciated.

Regards

Ed
