Hi you use either OptiStruct or Radioss. In both solvers, the material failure criteria are available,

Bae ine types of welds we recommend, like seem weld or spot weld.

Hi @HarishT ,

Can you please send the simulation procedure or sample problem to know how to carry out the weld distortion simulation?

Hello Naresh,

The FEMFAT have an extensive weld module to analyze the spot, seam, and solid weld failures. it effective predicts the crack initiation/material failures.

For more information, pls visit FEMFAT Software - Engineering Center Steyr - FEMFAT Software
