Nodes-to-Edge Gluing (Simcenter Samcef)

To define gluing between nodes (Source Region) and edges (Target Region), use the Nodes-to-Edge Gluing simulation object.

When you solve or export your model, the options in the Nodes-to-Edge Gluing dialog box define a Samcef .APS command.

Select the Show Ancillary Display check box to display the ancillary view of the gluing constraint in the graphics window. The software starts the Samcef gluing conditions quick solver to compute this view.

Supported analysis solutions

The Nodes-to-Edge Gluing simulation object is available for all structural and thermal Simcenter Samcef solutions.
