You continue defining the rest of the connectors in the first set as in the previous procedure.

All connectors in this set have the following parameters:

  • Under Type, clear both options.
  • Under Connection Type, select Distributed.
  • Axial Stiffness =1e6 lbf / in.
  • Rotational Stiffness = 0 lbf-in / rad.

The following table lists the names and faces used to define the rest of the connectors in set 1.
