GUI For DVS 1608
The Calculation-GUI for DVS 1608 assessments is divided into: Assessment, Assessment Standard, FEA Units, Safety Factors, Mean Stress Sensitivity and Material Selection.
In this section the Assessment type is selected out of: Static only, Fatigue only and Static and Fatigue.
In this section the Assessment Standard is selected out of: DVS 1612, DVS 1608, Eurocode 3 and DIN EN 13001-3-1.
In this section the length and force units as used in the FE-model are selected.
The drop-down menu offers different length and force units:
- The following length units are currently supported: Millimeter [mm]; Meter [m]
- The following force units are currently supported: Newton [N]; Kilonewton [kN]
In this section the Safety Factors for the Assessment are selected.
Note: Allowed values are 1,0 to 5,0. If any value below or above is entered, WeldFEM will revise it to its closest boundary value.
In this section the Mean Stress Sensitivity for normal and shear stress is selected.
Note: Allowed values are 0,01 to 1,0. If any value below or above is entered, WeldFEM will revise it to its closest boundary value.
In this section the parent material of joint plates is selected in general for the whole model.
The drop-down menu offers different aluminum based alloys. Additionally, a user defined material with a user defined title and its strength values.
Note: Differing materials for any weld joint can be defined in Weld Editor.
