    Hi,

    The  RBE 2 follows the displacement coordinate system of the node. In HyperMesh, from the assign subpanel of the Analysis> >Systems panel select the nodes,  select the coordinate system and set displacement, so that system assigned to the dependent system will move correspondingly.

    Thank you so much for your quick response George. I added a snapshot of my case. I want that  rbe2 rigid link to have dofs of local coordinate system in the snapshot. Is it enough to select center node of rigidlink.?

    Hi,

    It is recommended to select both the dependent and independent nodes.
