Hello everyone,

I'm looking for the equivalent to a Nastran's RBE3 in Abaqus. As far as I know the 'Distributing Coupling' should be the same but actually what I obtain is only a distribution of the applied load in the master node to the slaves nodes (and that was not supposed to happen with this kind of MPC).

Does anyone know which is the equivalent to an RBE3 in Abaqus?
