Rigid element conversion element type:
- BAR - Selects a bar element form to replace
RBE2 elements for large displacement nonlinear analysis and thermal expansion effects when a coefficient of thermal expansion is specified on the RBE2 Bulk Data entry. The bar element stiffness is controlled by the
KRIGIDELEM model parameter. If a dependent grid point is collocated with an independent grid point, the RBE form will be selected automatically.
- ELAS - Selects a bush element form to replace RBE2 elements with one dependent grid point specified.
- RBE - Selects the default rigid element which will result in the generation of equivalent multipoint constraint equations.

RIGIDELEM2ELAS above.
