Hi, I have an assignment where I have to calculate the optimum spacing of spot welds of a simply supported built up beam that is made with a C channel and two plates welded one on top and one under that has a uniformly distributed load on top of it. Each spot weld can take 8kN of force, and to...
Hello, I am trying to model a simply supported beam with a distributed load. The beam is formed with a C section channel and two plates that are welded, one on top and one on the bottom. To model this I am using NX and using CQUAD4 elements and have done a 1D connection Edge to Edge with RBE2...
Hi, I am trying to mesh some spot welds in NX on a beam that is made of a C section beam with a steel plate welded on the top and bottom. This is how I am meshing at the moment, I am meshing it all with CQUAD4 elements and they are 5mm in size (not inside the spot weld).
When I run the...
