A localized strength reduction in the HAZ due to transverse welds can be considered in the design according to EN 1999-1-1. Für andere Bemessungsnormen wird die Entfestigung durch Quernähte nicht berücksichtigt.
You can arrange and create transverse welds by assigning a member transverse weld.
Weld Location and Type
There are fillet and butt welds available as weld types for selection. You can define the transverse welds for different locations along a member or a member set. For this, a specific location is defined by using an absolute or relative entry. You can also use the können Sie zwischen der relativen und absoluten Eingabe der Längen wechseln. A multiple definition for the faster entry of recurring transverse welds in a certain distance is also possible.
Für eine bessere Übersicht können Sie mit der Schaltfläche alle definierten Quernähte in der Tabelle nach der Stelle aufsteigend sortieren.
Parameter
In this section, the weld parameters for the selected location are defined. If you select the multiple definition, enter a number and an offset of the transverse welds. Again, the distance can be entered absolutely or relatively.
The weld requires the definition of a weld thickness and a welding method. The MIG and TIG methods are available for selection. Des Weiteren ist die Anzahl der Wege zur Wärmeableitung und die Temperatur anzugeben.
Graphical Display
In the Navigator - Display, you can activate the graphical display of the transverse welds. For members and member sets to which a transverse weld is assigned, a cross-section border is displayed at the locations of the transverse weld.
