Field	Contents
PARAM#	Name of parameter.
VAL#	Value of parameter
CTYPE	Connector type keyword to control the element specific parameters. Parameters following a keyword will only be applied to the element type specified by the keyword. Supported connector types: CWELD or CSEAM

While textual values are recommended for clarity, their integer equivalents will also be read. The available parameters and their values are listed below (click the parameter name for parameter descriptions).

Parameter	Value
CHKRUN	<NO, 0, YES, or 1> Default = NO
CNRAGLI	90.0 < Real < 160.0 or -1.0 Default = 160.0
CNRAGLO	0.0 < Real < 90.0 or -1.0 Default = 20.0
GMCHK	<NO, 0, YES, 1, FULL, or 2> Default = NO
GSMOVE	Integer > 0 Default = 0
GSPROJ	0.0 < Real < 90.0 or -1.0 Default = 20.0
GSTOL	Real > 0.0 Default = 0.0
NREDIA	O < Integer < 4 Default = 0
PROJTOL	0.0 < Real < 0.5 Default = 0.05
PRTSW	<NO, 0, YES, or 1> Default = NO
SHOWAUX	<NO, 0, YES, or 1> Default = 0

Comments

1.	The SWLDPRM entry changes the default settings of parameters for the CWELD and CSEAM connectivity entries. None of the parameters of this entry are required. The default settings should be changed only for diagnostic and debug purposes. Only one SWLDPRM entry is allowed in the bulk data section.

2.	Connectivities are created for the CSEAM element and for the CWELD element with PARTPAT, ELPAT, ELEMID and GRIDID formats. With the parameters on this entry, you can debug and alter the search algorithm which creates these connector elements.

3.	Before the presence of any keyword of the connector, that is CWELD and CSEAM, the parameter set on the entry will be regarded as “global,” and it will be applied to all of the connector elements, unless it only serves a specific type of connector.

4.	Any parameter following a connector keyword will only be applied to the element type specified by the keyword until the presence of another keyword.

Blank fields are allowed in this entry. However, blank fields are not allowed between the parameter name and the corresponding parameter value or between the connector keyword and the parameter name followed. If the parameter name or the connector keyword is located just before the continuation field, then the following content must be placed in the first field after the continuation marker.

6.	Further detailed information about the individual connector elements can be found in the pertinent CWELD and CSEAM bulk data entries.

7.	Some of the above parameters apply only to selected connector types. Such information is provided within the detailed description of individual parameters.
