We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Sorry, I tried to reply from my phone, but apparently that's not possible.  What I said was that the E command is much more common than EN.  The element number isn't specified with the E command.  Just issuing solve instead of lswrite and then lssolve is recommended.  RBE3 is a good way to attach a mass to the model.  It's thought of as a force (mass) distribution construct and that's perfect for your application.  I was skimming your input and thrown off by your description of RBE3 as linking nodes.  Because of your use of older commands I was thinking possibly the error you are getting is due to using an old version.  What is the current error message?
