Hello, 

    Questions on creating of connectors. When I c create a connector it creates all new components, props, mats, sets, groups (LS-dyna) every time. Is there a way to code in so connector will get be created into active component?

  
 eval *createmark components 2  $assemnamelist
*createstringarray 37 'link_elems_geom=elems' 'link_rule=now' 'link_rule=now' \
  'relink_rule=none' 'tol_flag=1' 'tol=10.000000' 'line_spacing=30.000000' \
  'line_density=0' 'line_offset_flag=0' 'line_offset=0.000000' 'retain_line=1' \
  'ce_normal_link=0' 'ce_nonnormal=0' 'ce_fedepth=1.000000' 'ce_fewidth=1.000000' \
  'ce_systems=0' 'num_node_flag=0' 'num_node=3' 'ce_fe_vector=0' 'ce_coarse_mesh=3' \
  'ce_connectivity=0' 'ce_dir_assign=0' 'ce_prop_opt=0' 'ce_fe_density=1' 'ce_fe_thck_flag=3' \
  'ce_fe_acm_numhexa=1' 'ce_fe_proj_hexa_face=0' 'ce_fe_hexa_ensure_projection=0' \
  'ce_diameter=5.000000' 'ce_quad_size=0.000000' 'ce_centered_quad=0' 'ce_cwelds=0' \
  'ce_extralinknum=0' 'ce_hexaoffsetcheck=1' 'ce_bl_connection_ang=10.000000' \
  'ce_lt_connection_ang=60.000000' 'ce_elem_opt=0'
*CE_ConnectorCreateByMarkAndRealizeWithDetails lines 1 'spot' $num_of_layers components 2 'lsdyna' 1001 102 10 1 37 

 

 

Thank you

    Hi,

    Before creating connectors you should activate entity recorder by using hm_entityrecorder (pls search for usage in reference help or in this forum)

    Once you have done connectors, you can get them and then use *movemark to move them to the active comp.
