2-D Weldment Static Stress Analysis

In this tutorial, we perform a static stress analysis on a 2D weldment to determine the displacement and stress due to an applied load.  We also look at the contact forces and the partial separation of the contact surfaces between the two welds.

Features Illustrated:

• 2-D elements
• Nodal Forces
• Surface Boundary conditions
• Surface contact
• Static stress analysis and results
