Hi,
I have an Ansys WB solid body with 36 holes and remote points on each hole surface. I wanted to apply a remote force on those those remote points (similar to and RBE3) but I want to insert a joint so that I can extract forces on those joint elements. I duplicated the original 36 remote points and change the definition to "free standing", so that I can add each corresponding coindident nodes pair to the joint creation tool.
The problem is that on the joint definition, the tool does not recognize the remote points I'm entering, leaves the cell in highlighted yellow background color. Does anyone know why this happens?
Thank you
-Manu
