Description
| Field | Contents | SI Unit Example |
|---|---|---|
| PID | Property identification
number. No default (Integer > 0) |
|
| MID | Material identification
number of only MAT1 or MAT9 entries. Used to calculate
the stiffness of the connector (the fictitious
CHEXA). No default (Integer > 0) |
|
| TYPE | Type of seam weld
generated. Default = LINE (Character) |
|
| W | Width of the seam weld.
1 No default (Real > 0) |
|
| T | Thickness of the seam
weld. If blank, the thickness of this seam weld will be calculated
as the averaged thickness of Shell A and B. No default (Real > 0) |
Comments
- The distance between GS
and GE is the length of the element. The width of the seam weld is measured
perpendicular to the length and lies in the plane of Shell A or B.
