E5 - SolidWorks Weldments and Frame Stress Analysis Tutorial

Project 2 - Introduction to Weldments and their analysis. In this project we first look at the basic tools when designing with weldments, the second half is devoted to analyzing the structural frame using SolidWorks Simulation.

[@blowmeracing]

that was an awesome demo..thanks. i took the first week coarse and thought all i learned was how to mess up and use undo.
but from there i am self taught. solidworks is a huge program, so I'm always learning. after your video, i realized i been building weldments the long way. i can mirror sketches, but never thought about mirroring features and bodies. huge time saver..thanks so much

[@askquestionstrythings]

This is good information. I would love to see an updated version with SW2019 or SW2020. Would also be nice to see it with the newer structures tool.

[@estebanvelazquez1973]

Great Video, I learned more here than at the classroom, thank you so much.

[@Jeff_Engineer]

I'm glad we were able to "go ahead" and do all that stuff. If we'd just had to do all that stuff we'd never have finished the tutorial. ;-D
Good tutorial, though.

[@hoaluu2084]

exactly what I need, well presented, thanks.

[@Skinnymano]

Thanks for the video !

[@pramuditoanggara739]

really helpful for my project, thanks!

[@Hugo-ot7xu]

Nice video, your teaching is very clear.

[@raidafaz8942]

Thank you very MUCH!!!!!! You saved my life!!)))

[@ahmedalkady8591]

thank you very much for this helpful toutorial

[@burakborekci1498]

thank you so much :)).Now I know how to do the stress analysis

[@SeckinTankisi]

Thank you so much.

[@vgnfab]

Great video, thanks!

[@Emax376]

Era proprio quello che cervo, Grazie mille

[@nurhasim9458]

Thank you very much. Increase knowledge about solidwork

[@luishumbertomantillavera1553]

Muy buenos aportes

[@osmanomary6256]

very useful and clear

[@samroesch]

Something that I've just figured out: Unless the feet of the legs were going to be constrained from moving laterally, you should only constrain the four of them from moving up/down. You will need to constrain one of them from moving laterally, otherwise the simulation can't run, but this will give you a much more realistic result. You can see from the high stress at the feet in this video that the simulation was not acting as intended.

[@tedkramer4788]

+Sam Roesch Good observation.

[@JamchesterBoozle]

Yes, if you restrain all it will give the behaviour of the section being fixed into the ground, i.e. the connections to the ground can carry bending moments. If this isn't the case it's a dangerous assumption and the whole structure will be completely wrong.

[@sleepingeye]

Very nice, thanks!

[@akhilnair4475]

the video is very informative... and i can't believe... i just ran a simulation for the first time... thank you sir.. please continue to help learners like me

[@dhanushmr6224]

Thanks:) very helpfull

[@polybrizo]

thanks that helped

[@mattimalo2894]

Hi Celes, I had the same problems. I took all plates, gussets and weldings away. Then the simulation study works as in the video.

[@celescastillo8045]

Hi Matti, you are right, I made the changes and it works. Thank you very much

[@hit3894]

you can apply symmetry twice and reduce the computation and time by 1/4

[@Naveen_Anan]

Good one

[@mikeng3910]

Thank you very nice video?

[@7nurul1]

Thank you for the information sir

[@wesleyxsi]

very good

[@jonatanuruena9003]

NICe !!!

[@davidgza1]

Hi,Thank you for the video, it's great but, I have a question, your force is uniformly distributed or is concentrate? And if it is distributed don't you have to check the "Per unit length"?

[@user-zi8jn1go8k]

19:05 :D

[@thienchu6796]

thanks for you info, but i have a problem, can solidworks calculator max load for frame?

[@jantarada1]

did the 4 parts that suport the legs of the table to the ground made any diference in the simulation?

[@DRMICHAEL201]

how do you pin point the highest stress point?

[@ben.e__9]

When I run the FEA it does not show me the beams with the colours like in 18:48, but just lines. How can i fix this?

[@hussamyahya3665]

nice

[@samibasha]

When I perform a weldment simulation using SolidWorks, the program recognizes one of the elements as solid and the other elements as beams. However, it does not allow me to change the solid element to a beam. How can I resolve this problem?
And thank you for making like this informative videos

[@tectec2589]

Will weld paths transfer on a mirroring?

[@akashraj2656]

hai, bother, good presentation.
can you please make a video of STRENGHT ANALYSIS OF LIGHT POLES(WIND LOAD AND DEAD LOAD).
Thank you.

[@speeds8899]

at 4-legs support, Moment = 0

[@josephbrody3663]

Seems like a weakness in the software if it cannot handle the gussets that you designed.

[@RandDickson]

Great video. For me it says that there are not enough constraints to run the simulation when using the weldments.

[@tommasonatali8503]

Good video. Can anyone tell me the exact name of the program?
thanks

[@ducnguyen-dm7ro]

that's cool

[@focaljag7233]

anyone used mpmsim as a stress analysis software?
one word for it..awesome:D

[@agdesign7514]

I did everything as the video says and I still get a message MODEL UNSTABLE !!!!

[@hassanrasool2397]

Please make a MANUF 2208 tutorial playlist on solidworks 2020

[@ai3KFC14]

hello, May I know what is wrong for my case: the weldments are not visible in stress analysis but visible in displacement analysis?

[@kienmay5]

Hi. force 2000/ all frame or force/ 1 tube?

[@saikopiratos]

im looking for a software which would allow me to import a base shape obj and let it generate a stress resistant rig based on the obj's shape. ive seen a video a few months ago someone mentioning it in a talk but cant find anything now :s

[@merlynsalo4408]

sir how can i add strain result? thank you so much

[@TheAndroidvsapple]

Hey! What is s235? Cant find it...

[@kylemilford8758]

Seems this table should have bracing off both directions of the legs, rather then only lateral

[@hiteshpanara547]

It's ok for beginner...
How to do multi-pass analysis...!?!
How to run welding step by step & get analysis of stress & distortion @ each & every stage...!?!

[@celescastillo8045]

Hi Vertanux 1, is very useful your video, I just made the same steps, but my study send me a massage "the model is unestable" I do not understand why, same constrains and same loads, what do you think is wrong?. Thanks for your support

[@BGraves]

i had the same problem until I suppressed my gussets. Maybe it's because the gussets weren't jointed to the material?

[@August301989]

Hi how can this be computed manually?

[@WANG-vm6vw]

There will be cracks in the mesh joints caused by welding. How to deal with it?

[@franciscoalejandrochavezal5459]

Alguien que me pueda pasar el archivo del dibujo, por favor. :(

[@MuhammadAwais-jh2dy]

Why you did not select joints

[@thanatK]

how to show von mises stress in Frame Stress Analysis?

[@vertanux1]

Just double click on the "Stress" feature in the Simulation feature tree on the lower left side of the screen.

[@cheedu100]

hahaha that was messed up

[@acewelding]

Mmmm! Not sure your getting a true Simulation if your omitting the gussets!

[@jonathoncarter3942]

Why did you waste half of the video showing how to draw a basic frame?
