    The Point Analysis Connection dialog box appears, and a Point Analysis Connection object appears in the specification tree under the Analysis Connections objects set.

  2. You can change the identifier of the point analysis connection by editing the Name field.

  3. Select the first part.

  4. Select the second part.

  5. Select the points that will be used as the welding points.

  6. Click OK in the Point Analysis Connection dialog box.
