Hi,
I'm new to FEAs and I-DEAS. I need help on how to model welds. I've found that defining connector elements can be used to do this. The Help Library says a lot of nice things but does not specifically tell you how to do it. In attempt to define a connection, I cannot find a MCF file to use; and when trying user define, I need two PIDs and I don't understand why. I haven't been able to get past this.
Can someone provide a step-by-step procedure on how to model welds or a tutorial that I can follow to practice?
Any help or advise would great. Thanks.
