Bond Strength in COSMOS Works

These "bonds" are infinitely strong...so to speak. Bond strength, to me, refers to a force or stress level where the bond releases, as in an adhesive. The Bonded Contact in CW essentially merges 2 separate meshes into a single mesh so there is no possibilty of separation.

You can query the bond for tranferred load to determine if the fastening method you anticipate using can handle the load however. This gives you some flexibility in sizing your joints.

Bond Strength in COSMOS Works

Guest Sep 19, 2006 7:26 PM (in response to Guest )

Hello,

In COSMOS Works, while running an analysis for an assembly with more than two parts, I use the "global contact" option to define that the two parts are bonded. Does anybody how much is the bond strength of this in COSMOS Works?

Thank you..
