I have a squared frame and ontop of it, there is a taped panel ontop of it. At the center of the panel there is a concentrated load. What is the best way to model this configuration?
My idea was to create several RBE (both 2 and 3) that go from the frame to its center and apply the load there. Please see picture. Any other idea would be great, thanks!

Why would like to use RBE2 and RBE3 ? Just RBE3 it is sufficient.

RBE2 is a rigid element and you can have more stress on your frame elements.
 
I meant I wanted to use either of them. I was able to use RBE3
