MID |
Material identification number of only MAT1 or MAT9 entries. Used to calculate the stiffness of the connector (the fictitious CHEXA). No default (Integer > 0) |
TYPE |
Type of seam weld generated. Default = LINE (Character) |
W |
Width of the seam weld. See comment 1. No default (Real > 0) |
T |
Thickness of the seam weld. If blank, the thickness of this seam weld will be calculated as the averaged thickness of Shell A and B. No default (Real > 0) |
1. | The distance between GS and GE is the length of the element. The width of the seam weld is measured perpendicular to the length and lies in the plane of Shell A or B. See figure below. |
