Define edge-to-surface gluing

1. Choose Home tab→Loads and Conditions group→Edge-to-Surface Gluing .

2. In the Edge-to-Surface Gluing dialog box, in the Source Region group, select the edge region, or click Create Region to create a new edge region.

3. In the Target Region group, select the surface region, or click Create Region to create a new surface region.

4. In the Linear Settings Group, enter a Search Distance value between the edge and the face. You can adjust this value to control the portions of the region to be glued.

5. (Optional) To create a set of additional glue parameters that include the glue formulation, penalty factor units, and penalty factor, select a glue parameters modeling object in the Override Parameters list box, or click Create Modeling Object.
