Loads
Enter forces, bending moments, and other important parameters that specify the weld loading. Displayed options depend on the Weld Load selected type.
Dimensions
Summarizes all parameters necessary for definition of the weld geometry. Displayed options depend on the Weld Form selected type.
Joint Material and Properties
Opens the Material Database where you 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. |
|
Safety Factor |
Enter the value or click the arrow to set the value in the Safety Factor dialog box. |
Weld Form
Select the weld form to insert values for fatigue calculation.

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 Loads
Select the type of load within the weld.
Results
Displays the calculated values and the weld strength check.
