Hi, I am investigating a steel tower as part of my bachelor's thesis. In this context, I want to model a trapezoidal sheet as a stiffening wall in my frame. The trapezoidal sheet should be fully welded between the columns (vertical) and the beams (horizontal) (like in a container).
I have already created the trapezoidal sheet by modeling it as a bar and converting it into a surface.
My question now is how to sensibly connect the trapezoidal sheet with the columns and beams so that it resembles a weld seam, or if there are more effective methods for creating the trapezoidal sheet?
