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:
