Check the check box to open Material Database and select a material. Edit the properties of the material, if needed. |
|
|
Yield Strength |
Displays the maximum stress that can be applied without permanent deformation of the test specimen. The value is automatically modified according to the selected material. When you edit the value, the selected material is changed to User. |
|
Ultimate Tensile Strength |
The value is automatically modified according to the selected material. When you edit the value, the selected material is changed to User. |

Calculation of Statically Loaded Weld |
|
|
A switch for selection of the Standard Calculation Procedure and Method of Comparative Stresses. Selects a calculation method for statically loaded weld joints. Both methods calculate resultant stresses in a similar way, but the evaluation of results for the strength check is different. See the Engineer's Handbook for used methods of weld joint calculations. |
|
|
Standard Calculation Procedure |
Checks joint strength by direct comparison of calculated normal, shear, or resulting reduced stress with the allowable stress by using a standard calculation procedure. See the Engineer's Handbook for calculation formulas. |
|
Method of Comparative Stresses |
Compares allowable stress with auxiliary comparative stress, which is determined from the calculated partial stresses by using conversion factors of the weld joint when the strength check is carried out with this method. See the Engineer's Handbook for calculation formulas. |
|
Weld Load |
|
|
Specifies the method of calculated weld load. |
|
|
Weld Design |
|
|
Specifies the method of calculated weld design. |
