calculate weldseams

[uwam2ie]

I'm a little bit off topic ;-)
I have to design a storrage rack for our tools. Are there some tools to calculate the weldings and stress on the profiles? Thx in ad

There's an NX module titled the 'Weld Wizard' which will help you in designing your weldment, and then you could use the NX CAE tools to create an FEM/FEA scenario to validate its structural integrity.
