When one or more Spot Welds nodes are active in the model, six entries are added to the list of result templates:
|
•
|
A Spot Welds Forces plot group, to show the normal and shear forces and a label showing the identity number of each weld. Evaluate the Spot Welds Normal Forces and Spot Welds Shear Forces evaluation groups to display the spot welds forces.
|
|
•
|
A Spot Welds Normal Forces evaluation group that contains a table of the location and the normal forces of all welds. Evaluate this table to display the forces in the Spot Welds Forces plot group.
|
|
•
|
A Spot Welds Shear Forces evaluation group that contains a table of the location and the shear forces of all welds. Evaluate this table to display the forces in the Spot Welds Forces plot group.
|
|
•
|
A Spot Welds Forces Magnitude evaluation group that contains a table of the normal and shear forces magnitude of all welds.
|
|
•
|
A Nugget Location plot group that contains a surface plot showing the nugget locations, a point plot at Gauss points showing the location of the nuggets on the destination boundary, and a mesh plot.
|
|
•
|
A Connected Region Indicator plot group that contains a surface plot showing the areas on the destination surface where the spot welds are active. If there are other connection features in the Shell interface, all connection indicators appear in the same plot.
|
You must delete the Spot Weld Forces plots and evaluation groups and add them again from the list of result templates if you change the number of spot welds in your model or compute new results.
