Weld Compensation - General Characteristics

This facility can be applied to plane panel stiffeners, shell stiffeners (longitudinals and transversals) and to planar panels (provided they have been generated with Geometry Type

90). The compensation will be added to the web plate and will only be made if:

• The web part is stored as a plate on the plate data banks

• The web does not have too heavy curvature (less than 3 degrees)

• The compensation is asked for in the set-up file controlling the conversion of profiles into plates (see Conversion of Profiles to Plates).

The compensation will be applied as illustrated by the figure below where M1 is a customizable value and M3 is calculated by the program:
