Giving Connections between 2D and 3D elements

Aditya Hegde_22173

How do we give connections between a quad and tetra elements in a assembly? Can we directly give weld or tie connections between them as required or is there any specific procedure to be followed for giving the connection between them?

Hi Aditya,

You can use RSSCON1 to connect shell and solid elements.

Please go through the below links.
