Questions about connectors

Hi,


I'm modeling a RC wing and i need to glue (Araldite epoxy) some parts. I'm using 1D -> area -> adhesive (Gap), which generates RBE3 elements (http://imgur.com/ds13Iva)

In some components I used seam -> adhesives (hexa) to glue edges.

 

There are better methods to glue components?

*update*

I forgot to say that the connectors aren't gluing the parts... Using Weld works fine! (I guess the problem is the perpendicular surfaces)

 

*update 2*

Thank you Tinh. The Hexa (adhesive) worked! The problem was the perpendicular faces, in this case the correct connector is Seam. I assigned the resin properties to hexa elements, as you mentioned.

Best regards,

Daniel Andrade

    Hi, I think:

    if you use rbe3 only, you neglected properties of araldite epoxy

    if you use hexa, you can assign its properties to hexa elements
