Connection - Module

Within the connection-module connections between FE-structure and master-nodes are defined. This step is mandatory, since the EMBS requires interface nodes with 6 DoF per node. The connection definition is a crucial aspect and essentially influences the dynamic behaviour of the model. The generation of connections in conventional software is often confusing and therefore error-prone.

Features:

• automated generation of rigid or elastic connections
  
• node-search-algorithm for automated selection of nodes on the FE-structure according to connection type (bearing, surface, circumference, etc.)
  
• optimization of connection definition
  
• automated correlation of the modified model compared against the original model
