I would like to know, how to get the script to get the elements in contact (spotweld/tied) in dyna by giving only a node as input.

The command file does not give clear steps except for *findmark elements 1 1 1 etc.. or findfaces for getting the solid weld element faces.

I tried it manually but beyond getting the solid elements, I'm not getting the 2D elements which are defined in contact spotweld.

 

What must I do to get them too ??.

    Hello @BG913

     

    I guess 'hm_gettiedentities' is you are looking for.

     

    Ex:

    *createmark nodes 1 248;
    hm_gettiedentities nodes elems 1 2;
    hm_getmark elems 2;

     

    Thanks,

    Imoto
