I have two discrete rigid bodies. A axial connector was established to connect two reference points. Now the task is to attach the reference points to the respective rigid part.
How should I do that? which constraint type should I choose?
Thank you in advance for the help!
You can do the next:
1. Convert rigid bodies to shells (Shape>Shell>From Solid),
2. Create instances and mesh them.
3. To attach the reference points to the respective rigid parts create the next constraints: type - Rigid body, Region type - Body(elements), Region , Reference Point - Point .
Nlgeom should be on in the case of large displacements.
For better understanding constraints see:
