Hello,

I have a box of bars supporting a bar inside the cube (imagine 8 bars on the edges of a cube and one bar, parallel to either side, but at the center of the cube) .
I have modeled with SAP2000 frames and I need to link the internal bar so that I transfer only the mass to the box structure (I am not interested in transfer the internal bar stiffness). I did it with NX-Nastran by using the RBE3 element. I wonder to known which SAP2000 constraint can do the same job.
I appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance,

JokaSteel.
