Hi guys. I’m trying to use a connectors in my model to made the interaction between two solid models, but I get some doubts. To begin I need to create the wires features. There is a way to create the wires using the mesh nodes? When I try to create this feature, I can just select points from my assembly. I need to apply the connector all over the selected surface (image 1). How should I do that?
I apply an elastic behavior to my connector section (Images 2 and 3). I need that the 3 axis of my connector concord with the 1 axis of my model. Therefore, I create a datum CSYS and apply in my connector, like appear on the image 4. There is something wrong in doing it?
