Description
Creates a spotweld between two nodes on the finite element mesh for a given type of element, coordinate system, and property ID.
Inputs
- independent
- Independent node pointer.
- dependent
- Dependent node pointer.
- 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 a spotweld (spring element) between nodes 1 and 3 with the coordinate system and
property collector name_prop (movenode and
remesh options are not
used):
*createspotweld(1,3,0,0.0,1,0,0,21, "name_prop")
