Overview

In Radioss, weld lines are frequently modelled with a combination of spring type13 and type2 contacts (tied contacts). This setting can be retrieved as Spring (Contact) in connector controls in HyperMesh.

This control does not support HAZ definition. The attached script allows to identify elements from connected parts to be moved in separate parts for HAZ definition. The script includes a search distance of 5 mm, which can be modified (at line 5).
