Reply To: Connecting beam elements to solid elements

[Erik Kostson]

Hi

Instead of the RBE2 type of connection you are using now, try the RBE3 type of conenction to connect beams to solids.

RBE3 in LS-Dyna is: *CONSTRAINED_INTERPOLATION

and is suitable as it says below for the connection you are trying.

All the best
