DESCRIPTION:



          Rigid body elements cannot be deleted or inactivated as

     conventional finite elements.  The specification of rigid body

     elements as conventional finite elements in the INACTIVE command or

     in DELETIONS mode will cause an abort in a subsequent stiffness,

     nonlinear, or dynamic analysis.



          At the present time, it is not valid to inactivate a rigid body

     using the INACTIVE command.



          If it is necessary to delete a rigid body, the RIGID BODY

     command must be used in DELETIONS mode as follows:



                    DELETIONS

                    RIGID BODY 'R1'
