assigning nodes to elements
Hi guys, I have been trying to modelling a welding of a main plate and a cover plate with ansys, as shown from the photos. The mainplate is welded from the upper and the lower part. There is no contact between coverplate and mainplate. The binding is formed by the welding at the corner and the node 6 is the only shared node between mainplate,coverplate and weld. What I would like to do is to double or copy the nodes 275,296,312,281,299,315 and then assign one of these nodes to cover plate and another one to mainplate. Therefore, I can get it stress results at that place. How I can assign a node to an element? I am sendding the commands of my modeling, thanks

Suggestion using Contact elements:
Hi Sailor81
I am not understanding why you want to move/copy a node from one plate to another. If the surfaces (or specifically nodes) in between are not in contact, how do we expect same stress distribution in both the locations (nodes). I think this problem will be relatively easier to solve it in Ansys Workbench than Classic since the Workbench detects contact regions automatically. (But if you want to ignore contact between surfaces and carry analysis) If you want to list stress at same location (if you know location coordinates), first select the cover plate (by usual volume selection or others), then use node(x,y,z) for selecting nearest node to that location. I am curious to know if you are studying fretting fatigue? Wish you Good Luck.

Gopinath
