Comments

  1. The SWLDPRM entry changes the default settings of parameters for the CWELD connectivity entry. 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. A connectivity is created for the formats ELEMID and GRIDID, see the CWELD bulk data entry for a complete description of the formats. With the parameters on this entry, the user can debug and alter the search algorithm which creates the CWELD connectivity.

  3. For the formats ELEMID and GRIDID, the shell grids GA# and GB# are user specified, either through shell element IDs SHIDA and SHIDB or directly. The end points GA and GB are connected to the shell grids GA# and GB# regardless of the cross sectional area of the CWELD connector.
