Simulating Welding in HyperMesh 6.0

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/303594.html

Simulating welds in FE models calls for simpler techniques to create, use and organize welds. Use of the Connector,a new entity in HyperMesh,provides improved welding methods. Using Connectors has these advantages:
•Automates the process of the creation of welds and similar FE entities.
•Stores the location of FE entities like weld, rigid or rod etc. and information about the link entities.
•Allows a variety of entities as link entities to increase flexibility.
•Create directly when a master connector file or master weld file is imported through files panel.(Compatible weld file formats are discussed in Chapter 2.)
•Supports easy part replacement by allowing one link entity to be exchanged with another.
•Makes it easy to reposition a weld and change its link entities. Connectors can be organized, masked,deleted like any other entity in HyperMesh.
•Use Connectors for visualization purposes like tracking particular features in your model.
