- Figure 1 - SpWeld Interface
Purpose: This interface is used for showing, creating, modifying, and deleting *CONSTRAINED_SPOTWELD cards in LS-DYNA.
Controls:
Show - Show existing *CONSTRAINED_SPOTWELD entities
Modify - Modifying *CONSTRAINED_SPOTWELD values- Create - Create new *CONSTRAINED_SPOTWELD entities
- Delete - Delete *CONSTRAINED_SPOTWELD
- CDelete - Check and delete invalid *CONSTRAINED_SPOTWELD
For Show, Modify, Delete, and CDelete, the Entity Operation Interface is displayed in the secondary controls area. For Create, the bottom panel is as shown in Figure 2 below.
