The load cases

The definition of the load cases uses a local coordinate system which is defined by the following figure.

Local Coordinate System Used for the Load Cases

For this seam weld model, there are four loading conditions to be considered:

• The force in the x-direction

• The force in the y-direction

• The force in the z-direction

• The moment around the z-axis

The forces and moment are one-by-one applied at the right arm and at the top arm, while the left arm is fixed. This results in eight load cases for a T-joint.
