| $^{1}$ If PART entities are used to define a rigid body, RBODY is translated as *RIGID BODY. $^{2}$ If the ELE and NOD entities constitute all elements in a part, RBODY is translated as *RIGID BODY. If the ELE and NOD entities do not constitute all elements in a part (i.e., if the part consists of both rigid and deformable elements), RBODY is translated as *MPC (MPC type BEAM), a beam-type multi-point constraint for the set of nodes that consists of all input NOD entities and nodes extracted from all ELE entities. |
