The selected springs type beam (type 13) which have their two nodes linked to a shell element with tied interfaces (type 2) are translated into the selected Connection type.
This option is useful when a RADIOSS D00 model is read without a M00 file.
The Connection type can be:
| • | Glue (only the connection between two plates will be extracted). |
| • | Hemming (only the connection between two plates will be extracted). |
There are three ways to do the spotweld extraction:
Extract from D00.
| 1. | From the Menu Bar, select Connections > Spotweld > Extract from Model. |
All the selected springs type beam (type 13) parts are translated.
Extract from tree selection.
| 1. | In the Tree menu, select springs type beam (type 13) parts in the tree. |
| 2. | From the Menu Bar, select Connections, then <connection type>, and select Extract from Tree Selection. |
Extract from browser selection.
| 1. | In the Tree menu, select springs type beam (type 13) parts in the tree. |
| 2. | From the Menu Bar, select Connections, then <connection type>, and select Extract from Browser Selection. |
Only the selected springs type beam (type 13) parts in the tree are translated.
