Using connectors in Hypermesh
Altair EmployeeHello and good afternoon,
I currently have a few problems using connectors in my Hypermesh-Simulation. I am trying to connect different parts of my model together via connectors to simulate the mechanical behaviour of a welded model.
The problem with my connectors is, that they are not transferring the load into other parts of my model. I think I set them up incorrectly. Is there any kind of tutorial on how to apply connectors?
I attached a few pictures using different connectors. You will see that the parts of my model are set up with a distance of 2mm to each other. I tried using no distance first, but I could't not get the connectors to realize. Without a gap between the model parts they were always either yellow or red. Using a litte space between the parts could get the connectors to realize at least.
The only time I could get the applied loads to transfer was by using RBE2-elements and an unexploded model.
Many thanks
Steffen

Hi,
it's better to share your model.
there are several problems could occur in your model we cannot tell you detail.
so let us debug it after that we will tell you reason
