Indeed, it is a 304L stainless steel round iron to be welded on another round iron with the same material. I frequently use the "weld seam" type connector but it is only valid for shells or surface bodies, which is not the case for my model. Attached, in blue, is the weld bead I want to make. When I follow the common method, I am told "the weld bead type connector must belong to surface body faces or sheet metal bodies". Is there a way to correct the problem?
HELLO
By definition a tube is hollow, it is a round iron. Can you put us a screen print of what you would need. Have you created your structure in welded construction?
if your round iron is not soldered on all the contact surfaces
What do you want to simulate??????????????

Good evening @ mbiengangdavy
First of all for the messages, there is the title in principle short (or the one not tells his life) and a text box in which we describe his problem with the length you want.
In short !
For your wish for simulation, you should know that there is no point in putting weld seams in the model since they will not be taken into consideration by the simulation module.
In the simulation module, this is done by the connectors and in this case by the connectors "solder seams.
Look in the help to give you the procedure to follow. But be specific because it's not a trivial function to use (it's more like soapboarding having put on shoes with tallow soles)

Be careful , however, not to confuse the American standards and Euro Code EN 1993-1-8. for the results.
Kind regards
