I'm modelling a conventional ladder chassis using beam elements. I am only interested in the torsional stiffness between the spring towers.

Does anybody have any experience in estimating the joint efficiency of the various welded joints in this sort of structure?

If you have please could you respond to this post in the Automotive Body Engineering forum. thread87-111027
