Automatic spot connectors generator using nodes coordinate data (*.csv)
Altair EmployeeOverview
This is a script that automatically creates spot connectors using nodes coordinate data.
To use it, you need nodes coordinate data saved as a CSV file.
Only files with x, y, and z values in columns B,C, and D, respectively, and with values starting at row 2 are supported.
When a file is imported, the data is displayed on the right and shows the number of nodes. This is useful when comparing the number of nodes in your data to the number of connectors created.
You can enter a name for the connector control, you can select a type : rigid, rod, weld
For each connector type, you can select an element type, and when selecting the rod type, you can also enter section diameter.
Finally, press the 'OK' button, the connector will be created and realized on the node matching the coordinates
