*rbe3()

Creates an RBE3 element in HMASCII format.

Syntax

*rbe3 (independentnodes independentdofs independentcoeffs dependentnode dependentdof dependentcoef)

Type

HyperMesh HMASCII Command

Inputs

id
The ID of the element.
type
The type of the element.
independentnodes
The number of independent nodes contained in the following *independentnodes() entry.
independentdofs
The number of independent degrees of freedom contained in the following *independentdofs() command.
independentcoeffs
The number of independent coefficients contained in the following *independentcoeffs() command.
dependentnode
The ID of the dependent node.
dependentdof
The degree of freedom associated with the dependent node.
dependentcoef
The coefficient of the dependent node.

Example

An *independentnodes() description must immediately follow. If independentdofs is greater than 0, an *independentdofs() command must follow. If independentcoeffs is greater than 0, an *indpendentcoeffs() command must follow. The order for these descriptions should be:

*rbe()
*independentnodes()
*independentdofs()
*independentcoeffs()

Errors

None.
