Description

Creates multiple spotwelds between a set of nodes on the finite element mesh for a given type of element, coordinate system, and property ID.

Inputs

nodecol1_markmask
Independent node mark list.
nodecol2_markmask
Dependent node mark list.
tolerance
Search tolerance to pair the nodes.
length_given
Specifies if a length has been given.
length
Length of the spotweld element.
systems
Local coordinate system switch.
  • 0 - Without coordinate system.
  • 1 - With coordinate system.
movenode
Moves dependent node.
remesh
Remeshes dependent region.
configval
Element type configuration value.
?property?
Name of property collector. Retrieves property ID.

Examples

To create spotwelds (rod elements) between nodes 1 and 2 with the coordinate system, property collector name_prop and the options movenode and remesh selected:
*createmultiplespotwelds(1,2,0.05,0,0.0,1,1,1,61, "name_prop")
