Ansys weld simulation for modal analysis

Ansys weld simulation for modal analysis

Ansys weld simulation for modal analysis

(OP)
Hello,

This is my first question in the forum, sorry for my english.

I am involved in some modal correlation between  test and numerical results with ansys. As a first step I have simulated weldings as  a common nodes between the welded plates, and I have concluded that generally the local modes obtained by calculation are higher in frequency than the tested ones. So I understand this simulation is too stiff, and a better simulation of welding introducing some rotational stiffness should be necesssary. I have been looking for papers or reference documents talking about this problem but I have not succed.

Please, could anybody help me with this issue?


Thank you very much in advance for your collaboration.
