Description

RBE2RBD

<YES or NO>

Default = NO

RBE2 is converted to /RBE2 by default in geometric nonlinear analysis. This parameter can be used to convert RBE2 to /RBODY, instead of /RBE2.

Note:

RBE2 can be converted to /RBODY only if all six degrees-of-freedom of the slave nodes are dependent on the master node. Otherwise, the solver errors out when RBE2RBD = YES. If the master node of the RBE2 is connected to other elements or in the case of hierarchical RBE2's, RADPRM, RBE2RBD activation is not recommended.
