Shell Edges to Beam Bonding

The bonding of shell edges that belong to surface or sheet metal bodies to beams, commonly used to simulate gusset plates connecting beams, is supported through manual contact set definitions.

This functionality is available for linear static, frequency, buckling, and linear dynamic studies.

To create a shell edge to beam bonded contact, in the Contact Sets PropertyManager, under Type, select Bonded. For Set 1, click Beams beam.png and select the beam from the graphics area. For Faces, Edges for Set 2 PM_Edges_Faces_Features_and_Loops.gif, select the shell edge.
