Hi

By geometry condenstaion I assume here you mean about creating super elements via condensed parts.

If that is the case then

Use bushing type of joint (formulation: MPC and 6×6 matrix - needs radians as units) and that goes well with condensed parts (at least it runs with no errors)

All the best
