Abstract
A computer-implemented method for modeling a lineweld connecting two modeled parts includes receiving lineweld properties from a user, wherein the properties include a lineweld path. The computer-implemented method also includes positioning a plurality of fastener definitions at discrete points along the lineweld path, defining beam element definitions between adjacent fastener definitions, and analyzing the lineweld based on the fastener definitions and beam element definitions.
