The RigidSpider macro is used to create a spider (RBE2 elements) around holes. You can create a spider with or without a washer and with one or multiple RBE2 elements.
To create a spider
| 1. | From the Nastran Utility Menu, click RigidSpider. |
| 2. | Select the component where the spider is needed. Click the … button to access a list of all available components. |
| 3. | Select the Spider Type: Normal or Washer. If you select Washer, an additional field appears on the dialog. |
| 4. | In the Washer Type field select Every node or Every other node. Every node indicates that an RBE2 for a washer will be created for each node. Every other node indicates that an RBE2 for a washer will be created between the dependent node and every other independent node. |
| 5. | In the Rigid Type field, select Single or Multiple. Single indicates that a single RBE2 element will be created between the independent node and all dependent nodes. Multiple indicates that multiple RBE2 elements will be created between the independent node and each dependent node. |
| 6. | Click Generate. The tool redraws the component chosen in step 2 using plotel elements around the holes and component perimeter. |
| 7. | Pick a plotel element around the hole where the spider is needed. |
| 8. | Click proceed. |
