How do I get reaction forces on spot welds in Simulation?
There is no way to obtain the force in a spot weld through the interface. You can create a named selection for the pair of vertices that define a spot weld and use esln,s,1 in an Environment Commands Object to select the beam188 element that goes between them in a command snippet. Then you can use post1 etable commands in a Solution Commands Object to retrieve the force in the element. A Simulation database is attached which demonstrates the idea. |
