RBE2; Rigid Body Element

Implicit MPC (Multi Point Constraint) with one independent node and several dependent nodes.

RBE2 restricts relative movement between slave nodes.

Implicit MPC (Multi Point Constraint) with one dependent node and several independent nodes.

RBE3 distributes the force with a weighted average using the centroid of the slave nodes.
