RBE3 elements are rigid elements with one dependent node and variable independent nodes typically used to define the motion at the dependent node as a weighted average of the motions at the independent nodes.  Both the dependent node and independent nodes contain a coefficient (weighting factor) and user-defined degrees of freedom.
