Testing Welds in solidworks
Testing Welds in solidworks
(OP)
Hi All,
I have a rack system created on solidworks and I can not figure place a weld between two components in an assembly the run a FEA on the assembly. So far I can only run FEA on a single part. If anyone could help out with running an FEA on an assembly and how to put a weld in that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Folks!

If you cause the parts to touch you can bond them together.

You might also want to check and see if your industry has standards for dealing with this.
You are correct, different welds are treated differently. The AISC handbook has a discussion on this subject.
