Thanks Kyle. In SE, say if I want to make my own weld bead as a part by sketching/extruding/revolving/etc, rather than using the wizard, can I then join or merge multiple weld beads and form a single part file?

Hmmm, if the weld beads are seperate parts then they will most likely have interferences in the assembly. Of course one could make in-context cuts in each weld bead to get rid of these interferences but that sounds tedious. The FEA will not run with interferences.

Thanks for the input. Kyle, are the three tubes that intersect the main tube close together such that the weld bead created is actually one weld bead or are there actually three seperate welds? Fred, right now we're using Cosmos with SolidWorks. Modeling weld beads using the regular feature...

Hi, We currently use SolidWorks and our products often consist of weldments upon which detailed FEA analysis must be run. SW has a weld bead feature that allows you to select adjacent surfaces of two parts in an assembly and it will automatically create a weld bead. Although this weld bead...

Has anyone used a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) program for designing or modifying cylinder head ports? If so, what program did you use and did you find that real world testing on a flow bench and testing with pitot tubes correlated to the CFD results? For instance, CFD was used to design...

Thanks for the speedy response. This pattern is based on a sketch pattern of a bunch of holes in a staggered array. Where is the geometric pattern checkbox option located?

Does anyone have any tips for speeding up the regeneration of a zillion holes in a plate? Whenever I edit the pattern it takes forever to regenerate.
