    Mesh

    You are quite correct about the drilling DOF being a problem. Without a detailed view of your particular case I don't know how to reply. However you asked about material. I would suggest 'A finite element primer' by NAFEMS. This covers all sorts of senarios - and if you want it, some...

    about rigid connections in nastran

    Hi all, Just a point on the use of RB3 elements. Many times I have seen incorrect results when the depedant nodes have components of motion 1-6. We find it is good practice to make the dependant just 1-3 i.e. no rotational. But you still might want to set the reference node to 1-6 if you are...
