Creates rod (CONM3D2) elements between shell and/or solid elements in order to connect
them using a tie contact definition. The rod element nodes will project and touch the
shell and/or solid element faces. During the realization, a default tie contact and
referencing main and secondary surfaces are created; unless defined differently, each
rod is assigned a property, which references a default material (CONNECTOR BEHAVIOR) and
an individual coordinate system. By default, the property is directly assigned to the
element so that all rods can be hosted in one component.
The default tie contact and material parameters can be changed in the files below this
path: ..\Altair\2023\hwdesktop\hm\scripts\connectors\Rod_Tie\abaqus\.
Note: IDs, names, and
card type cannot be changed.
