I do not understand how to provide pinned support to the rigid bodies. ABAQUS suggests that either rotary inertia must be defined at the reference nodes or all of the rotational degrees of freedom at the reference nodes must be constrained. What I do not understand is what values of rotary inertia is to be used in this case. Is there any other way to do pinned case in ABAQUS/EXPLICIT that I am missing? Thanks!
Dear Jay,
Try the following link:

Best regards.
can you share a snapshot of your model assembly...ut depends on how you have set up your model
Yes. You have to constrain both linear and rotational movements.
It can be accessed in the boundary conditions.
