Yes ,I knowen, but how to define the nodal rigid ? 

the triple nodes like the graph below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hi,

bind each triple nodes by 1d>rigids, don't forget to bind them with regarding component, too

Yeah, I do as you telling me . And ..... 

*** Error 20393 (STR+393)

Did you use ls dyna solver? or HW?

dyna SOLVER

Hi @Aurora!

if i were you i would do a small test-task with only connector in ls prepost. you can see how it works and redo it in HM.

another way, if you use rigid bodys in ls dyna, you can not connect it by rbe2 instead you should use extra nodes set.=)

Did you solve problem?

Yeah，rbe2 element can't connect the rigid elmemt .

i had done revolute joints in LS DYNA, but i hadn't problem.

Hi,

if the component is RIGID, please use XtraNodes to connect the comp with the joint's nodes
