The European standard EN 1993-1-8, Section 4.5.3.3. provides the user with a simplified method for the ultimate limit state design of fillet welds. If you want to dimension the weld for a surface model, you will be presented with a variety of results due to the nature of FEM calculations. This model was used to show how the force components can be determined from a model.
