Why do I get RBE3 support problem in SOL 700 and how could I denote VERSION =ORIGINAL in the analysis file?

I'm running a SOL 700 and I get the following message "Fatal Error in SOL700 Translator - rbe3 is not supported. Please check version=original option" (see attachment). However, in page 166 of Explicit Nonlinear (SOL 700) User's Guide is says that RBE3 are supported.

Additionally how could I check version=original beforehand in patran or in the analysis file? I have tried dematd.exe, which seems to be running without errors but no files are generated.

Thanks

I think you are referring to old documentation for Explicit Nonlinear (SOL 700) User’s Guide

The section in the 2018.2 guide has:

Multi-Point Constraints MPCs are special element types which define a rigorous behavior between several specified nodes. The following MPC types which are supported for MSC Nastran SOL 700:  MPC  RBE2  RBJOINT  REJSTIFF  RCONN

Note: this change relates to the underlying solver technology moving from LS-Dyna to a new explicit solver. This is detailed in the 2018 release guide: simcompanion.mscsoftware.com/.../index
