- 21 - spring
- 55 - rigidlink
- 60 - bar2
- 61 - rod
- 70 - gap

- 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.
- 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:
- force_collinear
- Force all the welds along all layers to be collinear:

- 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 0Errors
Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To
detect errors, you can use the catch
command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
# Handle error
