Connections are used to define the association of different regions of interest between parts in an assembly.
Virtual connectors are rigid imaginary parts created between selected faces/spots representing geometrical support of the connector.
Connect faces or spots to a ground support.

Regular connections can be used to define contact-based connections between parts in an assembly.
SimSolid creates precise connections on the fly during geometry import and are grouped under the Precise connection folder.
Welding is a process that joins materials, usually metals by using heat or pressure.
Structural adhesives are simulated as thin layers of adhesive material associated with a connection.
Connect an arbitrary number of coaxial cylindrical faces.
Create a rigid imaginary rigid part between arbitrary faces/spots.
Define directional stiffness and inertia coefficients.
Defines directional stiffness between two parts that lie within specified diameter from the bushing center via importing a .csv file.
Connect multiple part with rivets of a given diameter or by finding the cylindrical holes automatically.
Connect faces/spots of a single part to a remote mass represented as mass and moments of inertia.
Connect faces/spots that can have relative motion in the form of displacements and/or rotations.
Create a virtual cable/rod with finite or infinite stiffness between two different parts or between a single part and ground. Virtual cable/rod is applied on spots.
Used to import a DMIG file which is the reduced representation of the behavior and performance of a structure or a part of a structure.
