Structural members

[Ripper2009]

Happy Monday all....
A quick question please:

If the only way to analyze a weldment is to create structural members, what do I do with existing models developed using traditional modeling methods?
Do I have to go and re-create all those models as structural members so I can analyze them in COSMOS?

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Yes, that is the only was to analyze them using beams. Otherwise you can use solid and/or shells.
