- Elements.swadd(ecomp='', shrd='', ncm1='', ncm2='', ncm3='', ncm4='', ncm5='', ncm6='', ncm7='', ncm8='', ncm9='', **kwargs)#
Adds more surfaces to an existing spot weld set.
Mechanical APDL Command: SWADD
- Parameters:
- ecomp
str Name of an existing spot weld set that was previously defined using swgen.
- shrd
str Search radius. Defaults to 4 times the spot weld radius defined for the spot weld set (
SWRDon swgen ).- ncm1
str Surfaces to be added to the spot weld set. Each surface can be input as a predefined node component or a meshed area number.
- ncm2
str Surfaces to be added to the spot weld set. Each surface can be input as a predefined node component or a meshed area number.
- ncm3
str Surfaces to be added to the spot weld set. Each surface can be input as a predefined node component or a meshed area number.
- ncm4
str Surfaces to be added to the spot weld set. Each surface can be input as a predefined node component or a meshed area number.
- ncm5
str Surfaces to be added to the spot weld set. Each surface can be input as a predefined node component or a meshed area number.
- ncm6
str Surfaces to be added to the spot weld set. Each surface can be input as a predefined node component or a meshed area number.
- ncm7
str Surfaces to be added to the spot weld set. Each surface can be input as a predefined node component or a meshed area number.
- ncm8
str Surfaces to be added to the spot weld set. Each surface can be input as a predefined node component or a meshed area number.
- ncm9
str Surfaces to be added to the spot weld set. Each surface can be input as a predefined node component or a meshed area number.
- ecomp
Notes
This command adds surfaces to an existing spot weld set defined by the swgen command. You can add additional surfaces by repeating the swadd command. However, the maximum number of allowable surfaces (including the 2 surfaces used for the original set defined by swgen ) for each spot weld set is 11. See Adding Surfaces to a Basic Set for more information.
