Flexible bodies and translational joints?

Hi,

I want to model a rail as a flexbody in ADAMS. However to do this I need to create rbe2 on the top surface of the rail shown in red and create a translational joint between the rail and another part. This will make the rail rigid.

How would you approach to this problem?

I think I did not pose my question properly. What I am trying to ask is:

Why do you need to create the rbe2 elements on the "whole" top surface? Why do you not create the rbe2 elements at, for example, where you have connections?

I hope I am clearer now.

Thanks,

Maziar
