Hello experts,

 

I am facing a trouble to create SpotWeld in HyperMesh - Radioss Solver.

I have a model in which the spotweld is created like below image. but i don't know how to create the spot weld like this.

I know the spotwelds can be created using connectors >> spot >> elem type = type2(spring).

but the result doesn't match my model, instead of create 1 spring2N elems., the connectors create 3.
image.png.be33fce4ef3701548abb9cd02473059b.png i have watched some videos on youtube/ altair university/ Radioss tutorial. they all use this approach.

 

So is there anyone know how to create the spotweld with only 1 spring 2N as my model using HyperMesh?
Please show me the procedure.

I have attached the model file for your reference.
Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

     

    actually only one SPRING2N element is created; the other two elements on either end of spring are plot elements (1D elements with 2 nodes used for display purposes only).

     

    Use proper post script to realize connectors upon creation. Otherwise use the realize subpanel.
