rod (spot tie)
Creates rod (CONM3D2) elements between shell and/or solid elements in order to connect them using a tie contact definition. The rod element nodes will project and touch the shell and/or solid element faces. During the realization, a default tie contact and referencing main and secondary surfaces are created; unless defined differently, each rod is assigned a property, which references a default material (CONNECTOR BEHAVIOR) and an individual coordinate system. By default, the property is directly assigned to the element so that all rods can be hosted in one component.
