How to Determine Weld Sizing and Analyze Strength with SOLIDWORKS Simulation

See how simulation can enable designers and engineers to analyze weld design performance with fast, easy-to-use SOLIDWORKS Simulation analysis solutions. Dependability, manufacturing, affordability, all depend on the right design. Analyze your weld designs with simulation tools to close gaps in your design and manufacturing process. Follow the Alignex team as we explore some unique challenges engineers encounter and their solutions.

Very clear and complete!
Thank you.

[@falcon26r87]

This is a fantastic video! Thank you for Posting Tim

[@mat4i]

Good job, very helpful!

[@rambo9857]

Thank you for you tutorial Bro, good job!!!

[@davabran]

Great video Thanks!

Alignex, Inc,
Is there any possible way to weld to solid?

[@eyupfirataydin4563]

how can I make welds to the surfaces which are not perpendicular

[@BryanNickel_Hydroplate]

What strength is defined by solidworks' term "weld strength" Is this the weld material's yield strength, ultimate tensile, shear?

[@eyupfirataydin4563]

I cannot make welds between solid bodies
It is asking me to select surfaces and shel bodies only
modelling the weld is time consuming
how did you make it in the video?

[@catmechanic1261]

Following, but when we get to 4:54, I click on tube and I get message: Edge weld connector should belong to faces or surface bodies or sheet metal bodies - and then it won't let me select a surface. What have I done wrong. Thank you

[@danielmichela5622]

I have the same problem. Did you find a solution for this ?

[@mystrusaiza]

How about weld FEA with root gap? Is this possible in Solidworks simulation?

[@catmechanic1261]

Let's say I have a large fillet weld, I have the initial root pass, then two cover passes, then 3 cover passes on top of that. Where in Solidworks do I replicate that sort of weld process? Thank you.

[@impactodelsurenterprise2440]

U just annotate the weld type, size, and process, and let the certified welder do his thing. Like annotating for heat treatment on a part you only note the hardness required, you don't try to teach the heat treaters what temperature to hold, time, etc.

[@belguithmonir4826]

first of all thank you for this tutorial
but if you don't mind, can you advice me
i want to do simulation for polypropylen tank welded by the polypropylen too
if i choose "costum steel", would this give me right results for the estimation of the weld size
and if yes how to choose the value of the weld strength parameter (elasticity limit or tensil limite ..)
cordially

For the excavator example, why is g = - 656.574 in/s^2?

[@TheCuriousOrbs]

Off-world engineering is hard, right. (should be 386.2 in/s^2 for Earth)

how to sync two circle example:-
one circle dia75mm and secound circle dia1000mm
dia1000mm (1000mm-100mm=900mm) so change
dia 75mm change (75mm+100=175mm)
mins i one circle dia minuse so secound dia pluse is value
how create
बहुत बढ़िया पर मुझे ऐसा काम कुछ इस तरीके से करना हो तो कैसे करे कृपया बताये
जैसे के एक circle 75mm dia का हे और दूसरा circle 1000mm dia का हे
अगर में इन दोनों में से किसी की भी साइज़ बदलता हु तो वो एक दुसरे में pluse minus खुद्ब्खुद हो जाये
जैसे के अगर में 75 mm dia में 25 mm जोड़ता हु तो वो dia 100mm हो गया पर जो दूसरा dia जो 1000 mm का हे वो 975mm खुद्ब्खुद हो जाये
बस ऐसे कोई भी एक dia अगर pluse होता हे तो दूसरा dia खुद्ब्खुद minuse हो जाना चाहिए
और कोई भी एक dia minuse होता हे तो दूसरा dia खुद्ब्खुद pluse हो जाना चाहिए
हा पर जितना हम pluse या minuse करते हे उतना ही value एक दुसरे dia में pluse minuse होना चाहिए
कृपया करके ये बताये ये कैसे हो सकता हे solidwork में ?
