FEA Welds

krunoslav_knezic — Mon, 16 Apr 2018 07:25:00 GMT

Hi All,

I need to create Static Stress Analysis and test the welds in the assembly.
Is there a way to create welds, as type of Contact in simulation, or do I need to model welds as components / bodies and assign them mechanical properties?

If you have other workflow to analysis the welds I would appreciate the tips and tricks 🙂

Hi @krunoslav_knezic -

We do not have a specific contact type for just bonded edges. I would recommend checking out this class from Autodesk University on the topic of simulating welds.

Thanks,

Thanks for this great class.

Now I have much more clear idea how FEA around welds work (or don't work lol) 🙂
