Glue Parameters–Local Pair Overrides dialog box (Multiphysics)

Modeling Object
Name Sets the name of the modeling object.
Label Sets a unique numerical identifier for the modeling object.
Properties
Glue Formulation Determines the type of glue connection.Select Weld-Like Connection to use the weld-like glue algorithm.Select Normal and Tangential Springs to use the spring-like glue algorithm.This option corresponds to the GLUETYPE field in the BGPARM bulk data entry.
Penalty Factor Units Controls how Simcenter Nastran calculates glue element stiffness.This option corresponds to the PENTYP field in the BGPARM bulk data entry.
Penalty Factor Available when Glue Formulation is set to Weld-Like Connection.Lets you specify the penalty factor for the weld-like algorithm.This option corresponds to the PENGLUE field in the BGPARM bulk data entry.
Penalty Normal Direction Available when Glue Formulation is set to Normal and Tangential Springs.Specifies the penalty factor for the normal direction.This option corresponds to the PENN field in the BGPARM bulk data entry.
Penalty Tangential Direction Available when Glue Formulation is set to Normal and Tangential Springs.Specifies the penalty factor for the transverse direction.This option corresponds to the PENNT field in the BGPARM bulk data entry.
