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")
