What instead of RBE3

(OP)
Hi,
I would like to use in Abaqus similar element to RBE3 which allowes me to apply concentrated force over some area. What type of connector is best for that in Abaqus?

Thanks,
Greg

RE: What instead of RBE3

Distributing coupling constraint.

Thank You.
I use Patran 2004 for preprocessing but I cannot find this constraint there - is it with different name?
Available are:
explicit, rigid fixed, rigid pinned, linear (surf-surf,surf-vol,vol-vol), quad. (surf-surf,surf-vol,vol-vol), slider 12, elbow 17, pin 9, tie 5, revolute, v local, universal, ss linear 13, ss bilinear 14 and ssf bilinear 15

RE: What instead of RBE3

You can not find a RBE3 in Connector
RBE3 is distributed constraint
Look in constraints not in connector
