Seam Weld

Advanced > Weld > Without Heat Zone > Seam Weld

This tool establishes the seam weld connection between selected edges and faces.

Edges

Select continuous edges from mesh bodies as input.

Faces

Select faces to which the input edges need to be connected by a seam weld.

Weld Using

Select the weld body type as RBE body or shell body.

Direction

Enable this toggle to specify the weld direction. Otherwise, the weld connection gets created in the normal direction of the input face.

Create one layer of quad around weld

Enable this toggle to generate a single layer of uniform quad elements around the imprinted (weld) edges within the input faces, forming a separate face.

Otherwise, elements around the weld edges in the input faces will be remeshed.
