11.17 Coincident Point Builder

Product: Abaqus/CAE  

Benefits: You can now create a connector wire feature for a group of coincident points in your model.

Description: The Coincident Point Builder enables you to drag-select several coincident points in your model, create a connector wire feature on the points, and assign a connector section to the feature. Figure 11–10 shows the new dialog box with several coincident points selected.

After you select the coincident points you want to include, you can delete any of them from the dialog box; or you can swap the first and second points in any coincident point pairing. In addition, you can change the orientation of the first points and the second points in each coincident point pairing by aligning them with a local coordinate system and by applying additional rotational angles to them.
