A tie connection allows you to fuse two regions together even though the meshes created on the region surfaces might be dissimilar. The tie constrains each of the nodes on the secondary surface to have the same motion as the point on the main surface to which it is closest. Tie detection provides a convenient method for quickly creating multiple tie connection features. Template FilesWhen you create a tie, you can save the tie definition to a template file. Once you create a template file, you can load the parameters back into the editor when you create other ties. After you have loaded parameters into your tie definition, you can edit any of the parameters for that tie as required. If you edit a template after ties have been created using the template, the tie definitions are not updated automatically. To apply the changes, you need to reload the template file into the tie definitions. | ||||||||||
