Description

Set FE realization details for the connectors on a mark.

Inputs

mark_id
The ID of the mark containing the connectors to update. Valid values are 1 and 2.
config
Weld element type.
  • 2 - plot
  • 3 - weld
  • 5 - rigid
  • 21 - spring
  • 55 - rigidlink
  • 60 - bar2
  • 61 - rod
  • 70 - gap
  • 104 - quads
  • 1001 - custom
tolerance
The maximum distance allowed between the connector and the entity in order to create welds.
property_id
ID of property collector. Used to retrieve property specified for connector.
system_flag
0 - Build systems.
1 - Do not build systems.
snap_to_node
Force weld to use one of the element connectivity nodes rather than create a new node.
remesh
Specifies if the welded area needs to be remeshed:
0 - Do not remesh
1 - Remesh
force_collinear
Force all the welds along all layers to be collinear:
0 - Non-collinear welds.
1 - Collinear welds.
fe_type
The FE type for the current solver specified in the FE. Configuration File for user-defined FE only.

Examples

Set the required properties for the connectors 1, 2 and 3, and create a simple bar element with a tolerance of 1:
*createmark connectors 1 1 2 3
*CE_FE_SetDetails 1 60 1.0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
