Creating Point Analysis Connections Within One Part

Point analysis connections within one part are similar to point analysis connections. However, point analysis connections within one part are used for projecting points onto parallel faces of the same part in the assembly. You can use a point analysis connection within one part as support for a spot welding connection property.

This task shows you how to create a point analysis connection within a single part in the assembly.

  1. Click the Point Analysis Connection Within One Part icon .

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

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

  3. Select the part.

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

  5. Click OK in the Point Analysis Connection Within One Part dialog box.
