I have been working some projects lately where I needed to analyze the strength of welded connections. I did a work-around for fillet welds where I simply modeled the weld as a fillet-shaped body between two welded members and then bonded each member to the weld but not each other. This is the same way classical hand analysis of fillet welds works. I believe I was able to get quite satisfactory and fairly and fairly realistic results using this work around, although it is a bit tedious to model each weld. A fillet weld command, similar in functionality to a chamfer, would be a welcome addition. Of course, we need weld symbols in drawings too, or at least the ability to improvise them, but that has already been discussed extensively.
