When I apply rigid body constraint to a shell model and try to run explicit dynamics analysis, I get the following error:

*INFO in cascade: linear MPCs and
       nonlinear MPCs depend on each other
       common node: 1 in direction 1

 *ERROR in nonlingeo: linear and nonlinear MPC's depend on each other
        This is not allowed in a explicit dynamic calculation

Here's a sample file:

It's also the case with rigid body constraints in axisymmetric and plane stress/strain explicit dynamics models.

Rigid body constraint is very useful in explicit dynamics since it can simulate rigid forming tools, impact targets and so on. Considering high computational cost of those analyses, simplifications like 2D elements are crucial so it would be great if this limitation could be removed.
