Description
Realize existing connectors, using specified details.
Inputs
- ce_mark
- The mark containing the desired connector entities.
- ce_style
- Connector style:
- spot
- bolt
- apply mass
- seam
- area
- solvername
- The solver for which the connectors must be realized.
- config
- The element realization type:
- 2 - plot
- 3 - weld
- 5 - rigid
- 21 - spring
- 55 - rigidlink
- 60 - bar2
- 61 - rod
- 70 - gap
- 104 - quads
- 1001 - custom
- fe_type
- The type ID for the current solver specified in the FE configuration file (for custom config 1001 only)
- collectorflag
- The collector that should contain the results of realization:
- 0 - currently selected collector
- 1 - connector’s collector
- tolerance
- The maximum distance allowed between the connector and each of its links during realization.
- options
- A string array specifying optional details for realization:
Detail Default Meaning ce_propertyid 0 Property ID value ce_systems 0 build system flag: 0=do not build systems
1=build systems
ce_connectivity 0 Connectivity type: 0 - mesh independent- mesh dependent + remesh
- mesh dependent + ensure projection
- mesh dependent + quad transition
- mesh dependent + projection and find nodes
- mesh dependent + find nearest nodes
ce_forcecollinear 0 Collinear flag 0 = non-collinear
1 = collinear
ce_nonnorma 0 Nonnormal projection: 0 = normal
1 = nonnormal
ce_diameter 0.0 Diameter value for some custom types (acm, cweld, mat100 etc.) ce_areathicknesstype 0 Area connector thickness type: 0 = (T1+T2)/2
1 = shell gap
2 = mid thickness
3 = const thickness
ce_areaconstthickness 0.0 Const thickness value for area connectors. ce_areastacksize 0 Density for area connectors. ce_boltmindiameter 0.0 Minimum diameter for a hole to be accepted as a bolt hole. ce_boltmaxdiameter 10.0 Maximum diameter for a hole to be accepted as a bolt hole. ce_appliedmass 0.0 Mass value assigned to applied masses. ce_appliedmassdis 0 Mass distribution type for apply mass: 0= all nodes
1= divide by nodes
2= divide by area
3= unit area
ce_configfile "" fe configuration file. ce_dvstfile "" diameter vs thickness file ce_propertyscript "" property script file ce_fevectorreverse 0 Reverse direction flag for seam connectors: 0 = no reverse
1 = reverse
- options_size
- The size of the options string array.
Examples
*createmark(connectors,1) 1, 2
*createstringarray(6) "ce_systems=0" "ce_connectivity=0" "ce_nonnormal=0" "ce_configfile=C:/Altair/hw8.0/hm/bin/feconfig.cfg" "ce_diameter=0.000000" "ce_propertyscript=C:/Altair/hw8.0/hm/scripts/connectors/prop_mat100.tcl"
*CE_FE_RealizeWithDetails(1,"spot","dyna",1001,100,0,6,1,6)
Note that the example above uses the custom config type (1001) to defined the LS-DYNA mat100 realization.
