Howto output Thermal Expansion Coef for RBE2 ?


Updated by Altair Forum User
Hi,
Within NASTRAN profile, I would like to output Thermal Expansion Coefficient for each RBE2 element.
Already tried with PSOLID, PSHELL, PROD,... propperties, but I can't got RBE2 with ALPHA (see screenshot)
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks

Hi,
as i know thermal expansion effects are taken into account only for LAGRANGE method.
Try to insert
RIGID=LAGRAN
Best regards,
Mario
