    Rigid Connector not showing full list of Rigid Bodies

    Hello,

    I am attempting to create a model that includes some dummy parts connected by a rigid revolute joint. The issue I am encountering is that in the Rigid Connector window for rigid body 1 and rigid body 2 are not available to be selected. Both dummy parts have a rigid body material applied to them. Is this a bug or am I forgetting a step perhaps?

    Thank you,

    Jon

    Hi Jon,

    In FEBio, and PreView, rigid bodies are defined through a rigid material. Thus, when you create a rigid connector, you need to select the rigid materials that define the rigid bodies you wish to connect.
