How to RBE2?

[ACinteriorstress]

HI all,

I'm trying to create RBE2 element in Femap version 10.0.1. When I choose RIGID, an RBE3 comes up. When I click on FORMULATION and then drop down menu FEMAP STRUCTURAL OPTIONS, I'm given the following options: 0. RBE3 1. Moment 2. No moment.

I was expecting to be able to change it to RBE2 in this drop down menu

Does somebody knows what's going on here?

Much appreciated, thank you,

Hello!,
With current version of FEMAP V11.3 to define a rigid element not need to define any property, simply use MODEL > ELEMENT > TYPE = RIGID and then choose the RBE2. To learn more about rigid RBE2 & RBE3 elements please visit my blog in the following address:
