Description

Creates weld elements between surfaces using a line list to determine the weld points.

Inputs

surf1_markmask

First or multiple surfaces in the mark.

surf2_markmask

Second surface in the mark, if given.

Tol

Search tolerance to identify the surfaces.

createplot

Creates a plot.

configval

Element type configuration value.

Syst

Local coordinate system switch:

• 0 - Do not build systems.
• 1 - Build systems.

Code

Code for one or all surface options:

• 0 - All surfaces.
• 1 - One surface.

num_nodes

Number of nodes on the line (for Density option only).

Linelist1

The line list on the mark.

Nodelist1

The node list associated with the line list on the mark.

biasstyle

1 - Linear.

biasingintensity

0.0 - Equal spacing.

Spacing

Spacing between weld elements (= 0.00 for Density option).

offset_type

0 - End offset.

1 - Half spacing.

endoffset

End offset from the edge (=value).

Property

Name of property collector. Used to retrieve the property.
