What is the difference between RBE2 and RBE 3 Elements?

RBE2 and RBE3 are multi point constraint elements, but Rigid and RBE2 elements add stiffness to original structure while RBE3 does not.
RBE2 elements also distribute the force and moment equally among all connected nodes, irrespective of position of force or moment. RBE3 element is constraint equation to distribute force and moment as per the distance (least square weighted function).
