How to perform FEA on welded assemblies

[NXPERSON]

To all of our faithful Nx Forum readers.

We are using NX6.0.2.8 with the Advanced Simulation application. Our solver is NxNastran 6.1.

We are looking for a best practice on how to mesh a weldment to find the stress and fatigue on welds. I would like find out how other users are analyzing welds.

Thanks in advance.

You may also want to search the FEA forum forum727, and/or post your question there. I'm sure there have been discussions about analyzing welded structures.
