Does anybody know of any publicly available information sources (books, papers, studies) that include benchmark tests for evaluating welds?
I am specifically looking for published weld test specimen information that I can use (and reference) for a study. I am willing to pay some amount of...
MSC has petitioned the FTC to allow EDS to become the purchaser of the Nastran rights (to be in compliance with the FTC consent agreement).

I am looking for information on simulating welds (specifically arc line welds, but any information is good) using finite element analysis.
I am interested in modeling the resulting stresses and distortions in sheet material assemblies. I don't care about the details of the weld itself (beyond...
I am looking for information regarding welding simulation using FEA. Let me be very clear as to what I desire.
I want to know what methodologies have been developed and employed that can properly simulate the thermo-mechanical aspects of welding (both spot and arc welding) on the structure.
I am...
