Line Welded Joints

Line welded joints are required for the stress analysis of welds. If you define a weld for a line in a surface model, the stresses of the weld are determined using the 'Stress-Strain Analysis' add-on. Thus, you directly obtain the stresses for the weld design for the selected weld type.

Info

Line welded joints have no influence on the stiffness and the internal force determination.

Categories

In this dialog section, specify the weld that is available. The types, including parameters, are displayed in the dialog graphic.

Joint type

The following joint types are available for selection in the list:

  • butt joint
  • corner joint
  • lap joint
  • tee joint

Weld type

Depending on the joint type, the list offers different options to perform weld designs.

Longitudinal arrangement

Currently, line welded joints can only be arranged 'Continuously' over the entire line length.

Parameters

In this dialog section, enter the 'Weld size' to define the weld thickness. The 'Weld length' is taken from the line length.
