weld assessments according to EN 1993 (Eurocode 3)

[C. Klinge]

I am looking for a tool or plugin for Femap to carry out weld assessments according to EN 1993 (Eurocode 3) with regard to static and fatigue strength. It would be good if the plugin would also support me in recognizing or marking the weld seams in the Femap model. If anyone has experience with proofs according to Eurocode 3 in FEMAP or knows a tool or plugin for such an assessment, I would be grateful for any information.

Hi,
there is a software add-on to Femap named WeldFEM which provides weld assessments according to Eurocode 3 (EN 1993).
I use it for weld verifications along the guidelines DVS 1612 and DVS 1608 for railway industry structures.
In my opinion it's easy to use and quick.
