Switching off RBE3 elements for optical enhancement of the model

Hello, I am currently working on a model with a high number of RBE3 elements involved and for better optical performance, I would like to have the visibility of the RBE3 elements in my flexible body switched off. Can someone tell me how can i include this in my *.nas file (my input deck)

Thanks and regards,

Daivik

By defining an output(plot) section in the NASTRAN BDF:

Use PSETID in the ADAMSMNF command:

ADAMSMNF FLEXBODY=YES, FLEXONLY=NO,OUTGSTRN=YES,OUTGSTRS=YES,PSETID=4

Then define SET 4 in the OUTPUT(PLOT) section:

OUTPUT(PLOT)

SET 4=HEXA TETRA

This set will contain only CHEXA and CTETRA elements, no spider.
