i'm using an RBE2

RE: mpc force distribution

unless i'm not understanding the question, see the manual

RE: mpc force distribution

Agreed, read the manual.
 

RE: mpc force distribution

The distribution of force to the dependent nodes of the RBE2 from the independent node is a function of the stiffnesses of the structure at each dependent node and also of their relative position to each other.
