Guest Report post Posted November 19, 2018 Hi, Try this, Go to 1D>> COnnectors>> Spot. Change the weld type to Rigid, select the nodes, components to connect and click create. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted November 19, 2018 If it is only those nodes you can use rigid, select the nodes and create the RBE2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
