Under circumstances of combined loading we Examine primary shear stresses due to external forces. Examine secondary shear stresses due to torsional and bending moments Estimate the strength(s) of the parent metal(s). Estimate the strength of deposited weld metal. Estimate permissible load(s) for parental metal(s). Estimate permissible load for deposited weld metal.
Optional: Change the name of the coordinate system to match the name of the weld component Manually change the Ansys System Number. Note: CS 1 to 11 are system reserved Select the weld interface
Step 2: Define local coordinate system for each weld. Manually change the ANSYS system number, start from number 12. The origin of the local CS should be at the centroid of the weld interface. Change the normal axis if needed.
The name of the component must match the previously defined Named Selection and the local CS number for the same weld; the local CS number must be in ascending order More welds may be added by adding more lines. i.e. CM_WELD(4)='Weld_D' ! local,15 CM_WELD(5)='Weld_E' ! local,16 .
Do loop, i from 1 to 3 with increment of 1. Change 3 to the maximum number of welds defined.
Whats next?
Follow the conventional weld calculation procedures, use the FEA output as the external loading for each weld.
