Engineering Tools — Group Connected CBUSH (00236)
What this tool does
Creates a group containing a user-selected CBUSH element plus
every element connected to either of its two nodes. Quick way to
build a "fastener neighborhood" iso view or audit set.
When you want it
- Fastener-level audit. You're chasing a load-path
question and want to see exactly which structural elements a single
CBUSH ties together, without having to manually click through node
adjacency.
- Iso-view for documentation. Need a clean view of
"the fastener and its neighborhood" for a report or peer-review.
- Local result inspection. Want to extract or
plot results just for the elements directly tied to a specific
CBUSH.
How to use it
- Open from Custom Tools > Model Organization >
Group Connected CBUSH.
- Pick the CBUSH element to seed from.
- Optionally choose a group name (default:
CBUSH_<id>_Neighborhood).
- Click OK. The group is created containing the CBUSH plus all
elements sharing at least one node with it.
What's in the resulting group
- The seed CBUSH itself.
- Every element (shell, solid, line) that uses node 1 of the CBUSH.
- Every element that uses node 2 of the CBUSH.
- The two CBUSH end nodes plus all nodes used by the connected
elements.
