Hi All,

I'm not even sure where to start with this one. I have an assembly of sheet metal parts that will be welded together. I'd like to do a solidworks simulation/COSMOS analysis of the stresses placed on the part. I've done this for individual parts, but how do I do it for an assembly?

When I create a weldbead using the

insert->assembly features->weld bead

command... I find that it just creates a new part.

What's the best way to go about this?

thank you,
Leigh
