The structure is a multi-girder bridge with a composite reinforced concrete deck. To model the structure I am using plate (shell) elements for the concrete deck and for the girders Ien-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/261129?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 01 Oct 2013 22:01:02 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:2e9a6740-bc32-4920-8a10-de56aa3840dcSye<p>There is no way to copy master slave specification using the GUI. You may consider using stiff beam elements in lieu of master slave to simulate the rigid connection. These will be normal beam elements connecting the corresponding nodes for which you can specify a material with high E value ( may be 100 x E steel ) and zero density. These can then be copied using translational repeat.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
