Weld simulation in Finite Element Analysis
Weld simulation in Finite Element Analysis
(OP)
Hi
I've got my hands on a FEA package. where I have a simple geometry to analyse.
I am using plate elements, in a T connection. the plates are connected in practice with a fillet weld.
do I need to release the plate edges where they join?
More than happy to answer any questions as the description is not brilliant!
