Creating point-based fasteners

You can create point-based fasteners in the Interaction module by picking each positioning point from the viewport or by reading the coordinates of the positioning points from a file. You can allow Abaqus/CAE to project the positioning point to the closest face along a normal to the surface, or you can specify the direction vector along which the point is projected to the closest face. For more information, see About fasteners.
