Morning ( 9 am to 12 pm)

Workshops:

1. SOL400 Glued Contact Analysis for combining dissimilar mesh for rapid
assembly or global local modeling

An example is used of a stiffened fuselage skin which contains a window. A global

model of the fuselage is combined with a detailed local model of the window
surround. Connection between the two is shown via shell edge to edge linear
glued contact.
