Hi
Split the beam at the location where the RBE2 spider will be then:
Using a connection/joint of fixed type ( a fixed joint):
Fixed – Surf 2 To Line Body – Scoped
Between shell hole edge and vertex on the beam (can not be scoped to a node, but where there is vertex there is a node, hence why we split the beam there).
This video shows this in detail.
