Hello all,
I'm trying to create a CE in Workbench Static Structural, and seem to be having no luck so thought someone might be able to help me out.
Problem: I would like to create a tangential constraint (equal rotation) between two points. I can't use the in system body to body joints, because I am using a cyclic symmetry and joints aren't supported. So I turn to CE's. Here are my steps
1. Select node 1 make it a named selection - Node1
2. Select node 2 make it a named selection - Node2
3. Insert a command block under the Static structural item in the tree.
5. Run the analysis, but for some reason beyond me the CE does not work, in the solution information it says no CE's found where it should be listing them.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

CE,next,0,'Node1',rotx,1,'Node2',rotx,-1
4.Insert a CELIST command in the solution to make sure the right items are appearing.CE,next,0,'Node1',rotx,1,'Node2',rotx,-1
5. Run the analysis, but for some reason beyond me the CE does not work, in the solution information it says no CE's found where it should be listing them.
