coupling rigid element connection

for such connection, for example, i have 10 nodes coupled in one rigid element REB2, and the total force added to the REB2 is 1N, does that mean that 1N is the total loads? or the total loads=1*10nodes=10N?

thanks

    It means 1N is the total load and it will be distributed to all the nodes.

     

    Example: if 1N load is applied using RBE2 and there are 10 nodes. This implies 0.1N load on each node.

     

    Thank you
