Shells: do I need an end weld?

Shells: do I need an end weld?

Shells: do I need an end weld?

(OP)
I'm using shells.  I'm on WF4.  Should I define end welds or use Pro's Automatic Midsurface Connections?

I'm running an analysis on an assembly. Each component has shell pairs.  I didn't define any end welds (there are a lot of surfaces) yet.  When I look at analysis results, the stress contours indicate that parts are connected, but I still see a gap between them.  Is there any advantage to using end welds over Pro's Automatic Midsurface Connections?

thanks!
