• ce_style (hwString) –

  Connector style:

  spot

  bolt

  apply mass

  seam

  area

• config (int) –

  The element realization type:

  2 - plot

  3 - weld

  5 - rigid

  21 - spring

  55 - rigidlink

  60 - bar2

  61 - rod

  70 - gap

• fe_type (int) – The type ID for the current solver specified in the FE configuration file (for custom config 1001 only).

• collectorflag (int) –

  The collector that should contain the results of realization:

  0 - currently selected collector

  1 - connector’s collector

• tolerance (double) – The maximum distance allowed between the connector and each of its links during realization.

• ce_propertyid (int) – Property ID value.

• ce_systems (int) –

  Build system flag:

  0 - do not build systems

  1 - build systems

• ce_connectivity (int) –

  Connectivity type: 0 - mesh independent

  1 - mesh dependent + remesh

  3 - mesh dependent + quad transition

  4 - mesh dependent + projection and find nodes

  5 - mesh dependent + find nearest nodes

• ce_forcecollinear (int) –

  Collinear flag:

  0 - non-collinear

  1 - collinear

• ce_nonnormal (int) –

  Nonnormal projection:

  0 - normal

  1 - nonnormal

• ce_diameter (double) – Diameter value for some custom types (acm, cweld, mat100 etc.).

• ce_areathicknesstype (int) –

  Area connector thickness type:

  0 - (T1+T2)/2

  2 - mid thickness

  3 - const thickness

• ce_areaconstthickness (double) – Const thickness value for area connectors.

• ce_areastacksize (int) – Density for area connectors.

• ce_boltmindiameter (double) – Minimum diameter for a hole to be accepted as a bolt hole.

• ce_boltmaxdiameter (double) – Maximum diameter for a hole to be accepted as a bolt hole.

• ce_appliedmass (double) – Mass value assigned to applied masses.

• ce_appliedmassdis (int) –

  Mass distribution type for apply mass:

  0 - all nodes

  1 - divide by nodes

  2 - divide by area

  3 - unit area

• ce_configfile (hwString) – FE configuration file.

• ce_dvstfile (hwString) – Diameter versus thickness file.

• ce_propertyscript (hwString) – Property script file.

• ce_fevectorreverse (int) –

  Reverse direction flag for seam connectors:

  0 - no reverse

  1 - reverse
