How to size welds using SOLIDWORKS Simulation?

The edge weld connector estimates the appropriate size of a weld needed to attach two metal components. SOLIDWORKS Simulation calculates the appropriate weld size at each mesh node location along the weld seam.

Results list the min, max and mean values along weld seam and they are given per unit weld length. The values listed are

– weld size

– weld throat size

– Joint normal force

– shear weld force

– shear surface normal force

– bending moment

 

 

This is a great feature to make sure the welds work .
