Can anyone explain the difference between an RBAR and RBE2?

RBE2 is an infinitely stiff element, with dependent and independent nodes.
RBAR has only 2 nodes, so it's not as useful if you want to model a bolt, or attach with multiple nodes.

you can simulate an RBE2 with RBAR elements, but each of them has it's own use.
