Connectors

Connectors are a HyperMesh geometric representation of connections between entities. Connectors are used to realize FE idealizations of the physical connection. Just as you create an FE mesh on a surface, you create FE connections by realizing a connector. In this chapter we will learn about the connectors and their tools.
