NOTE :
• If the SET is used, Grid ID and Element ID must have unique ID.
• RecurDyn does not support stress output option field and related fields.
• RecurDyn only supports interpolation element type of ‘Rotation & Translation’. So, REFC field of RBE3 is converted to ‘123456’. User cannot control this value in GUI.
• RecurDyn only supports ‘1’ as weighting factor. So, WTi field of RBE3 is converted to ‘1’. User cannot control this value in GUI.
• RecurDyn only supports translation degree of freedom in the case of independent nodes. So, Ci field of RBE3 is converted to ‘123’. User cannot control this value in GUI.
