Where the geometries become complicated, it is difficult to use analytical methods for the design. The weld elements in RFEM 6 are particularly helpful for such applications. RFEM 6 allows for design checks for different types of welds.In the Joint type list, you can select how the surfaces to be connected are related to each other.#image@033218#Then, select a weld type.#image@033229#Finally, it is necessary to define the weld parameters.The welds do not affect the stiffness of the model. You use the stresses from the surface elements and evaluate them according to the regulations.
