Hi everyone ,

I am very new to Abaqus and I am trying to model a steel-concrete beam-to-column composite joint. Do you have any useful tutorials to recommend? At first, I would like to find out how to model bolts and their connection/interaction with beam,plate and column. Also, I am not sure how to define welding. Is it accurate enough to merge two parts in order to represent welding?

Thanks for your help
