In RFEM 6, it is possible to define line welds between surfaces and to calculate the weld stresses using the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on.
The following joint types are available:
- Butt Joint
- Corner joint
- Lap Joint
- T-joint
Depending on the selected joint type, you can select the following weld types:
- Single Square
- Double Square
- Double Bevel
- Single V
- Double V
- Single U
- Double U
- Single J
- Double J
In addition to JavaScript, the Python high-level functions are also available in the console. Using the Python option, the console also provides you with the Python HLF functions known from the WebService function catalog for further use in the object properties dialog box for in-app scripting.
In the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on, you can define a component-dependent limit stress cycle and consider it for the design.
Get a better understanding of the stress distribution within member cross-sections by using clipping planes.
