Gluing parameters (STICK) dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)

Advanced Options
Activate Projection Procedure (PROJ)	Projects source nodes onto target FE elements.Clear the Activate Projection Procedure check box to prevent the projection of source nodes onto target FE elements.For more information, see the PROJ parameter of the Samcef .STICK command.
Welding Temperature (TWELD)	Lets you define the source welding temperature threshold that initiates the gluing. The model must contain Temperature Loads. If omitted, the gluing is activated independently of any temperature loads. For more information, see the TWELD parameter of the Samcef .STICK command.
Normal Distance (PRECN)	Lets you define the normal distance threshold between a source node and a target FE element under which gluing occurs. Note: Samcef automatically computes a default for this distance if a Normal Distance value is omitted.For more information, see the PRECN parameter of the Samcef .STICK command.
Tangential Distance (PRECT)	Lets you define the tangential distance threshold. This distance enlarges the target FE element to capture nodes that, by default, are too far away to be glued with the target.Note: For most cases, you can allow Samcef to compute this value automatically. This default value is suitable in most of the gluing actions. You should define this distance explicitly only in very specific circumstances.For more information, see the PRECT parameter of the Samcef .STICK command.
