Surface-to-Surface Gluing dialog box (Simcenter Samcef Structure)

Type
Type Specifies the face pairing method: Automatic Pairing or Manual.
Name
Name Lets you specify the name of the gluing constraint that appears in the Simulation Navigator under the Simulation Object Container node.
Description Enter a brief description or click to open a text editor where you can enter a longer description.
Destination Folder
Simulation Object Container Lets you specify the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the gluing constraint will be stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command.
Automatic Face Pair Creation
Appears when Type is set to Automatic Pairing.
Face Pairs Lets you select the faces to pair. For more information, see Create Automatic Face Pairs dialog box
Source Region (slave)
Appears when Type is set to Manual.
Source Region Lets you select a source region to be glued. For more details on the Samcef Regions, see Region dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Target Region (master)
Appears when Type is set to Manual.
Target Region Lets you select a target region to be glued. For more details on the Samcef Regions, see Region dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Swap Regions
Appears when Type is set to Manual.
Swap Regions Lets you swap defined regions.
Parameters
Parameters Lets you define the gluing general parameters.For more details, see Gluing parameters (STICK) dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)
Output Requests
Select Reference Position for the Moment Lets you define the reference position to compute the moment in the results.For more information, see the structural MACRO element in the Simcenter Samcef solver documentation.
Reference Position for the Moment Appears when the Select Reference Position for the Moment check box is selected.Defines the reference position for the moment in the model.
Gluing Results Lets you define gluing specific results.
Advanced Parameters
User Defined Parameters Lets you manually define .STICK parameters.Note: The added text must be compliant with the Samcef Command Language terminology. For more information, see the Samcef documentation.Note: This property may be filled during the import a Samcef bank if some imported parameters are unknown to this simulation object.
Boundary Condition Generation
Appears when Type is set to Automatic Pairing.
Associate to Automatic Pair Recipe Specifies whether automatically generated pairs are associated with the automatic pair recipe. The automatic pair recipe is the set of parameters in the Create Automatic Face Pairs dialog box that determines how to compute and group face pairs. When you select this check box, the generated contact pairs appear in the Simulation Navigator with the prefix Auto. If you update the master part, the software recalculates the face pairs and updates the boundary condition.When you clear this check box, the generated contact pairs are not associated with the face pair recipe. If the master model changes, the contact pairs are not updated. These pairs behave the same as manually created pairs.
Ancillary Display
For more details, see Ancillary Display dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)
Card Name Displays the name of the solver card this object will write to : .STICK .
