Auto-bonding Shell Edges to Solid Faces

The algorithm of bonding a shell edge to a solid face is improved to consider the shell thickness. When you define a global or local bonding contact, the software virtually imprints the thickness of the shell edge on the touching solid faces, and applies bonding automatically.

T- type bonding between a shell and a solid. The new bonding algorithm produces more accurate stress results at the vicinity of contact, because it takes into account the thickness of the shell.
