Fillet Weld Modelling in Radioss

jbmue

Hello Everybody,

I have to do a crash simulation of a component made of sheet metal. What type of seam connector do you recommend to model the different seam welds? I know, that the "seam-quad (angled+capped+L)" is recommended in OptiStruct for fillet welds, but this type is not accessible in Radioss. Is the "hexa(tapered-T)" suitable for the intended purpose or can I use simplier types instead?

Thanks for your answers in advance!
