    Dear Harshit,

     

    According to me , Modelling the weld elements with spot weld (Element type - Spring) of  node to node connectivity  is the best & easiest way.

     

    If there is any other best technique let me know??

     

    Thanks

    Dear Harshit,

     

    You can do a spot welding using element type as Rigid or Weld. Make sure to check for dependency later or you will get error. 

     

    Thanks,
