RFEM Steel joint design

Hi,

I want to model a simple connection between two hollow sections, see attached picture.
How can I create a weld between the horizontal member and the plate?

Hello @Simca, welcome to the Dlubal Community!

You probably wonder why you are not able to define a weld between the rounded corners and the plate. This is because of the gap between the two objects. We are working on a solution for this.
In the current state, there are the following options:

  1. Weld the lower flange of the horizontal beam without the roundings:

  2. Use a rectangular cross-section without radii from the library.

Best regards,
Fabian
