Weld Surface Properties

The pedal arm contains weld surface data from Moldflow. In order to understand the effect the weld surfaces have on the structural life of the pedal arm, we must first calculate the strength reduction factor for each point that lies on the weld surface.

  1. Switch to the Material tab and click (Material > Weld Surfaces > Weld Surface Properties).
  2. Activate the Weld Surface properties are calculated automatically option.
    Note: To use the automatic calculation method, the material used in the Moldflow simulation must contain the necessary weld surface parameters. Refer to the Weld Surface Strengths section of the User's Guide for more details.
  3. Click OK.
