Mastering SolidWorks Weldments: Trim, End Cap & Static Stress (Von Mises) Analysis Tutorial

Discover the true power of SolidWorks Weldments in this hands-on tutorial! Learn how to efficiently model weldment structures, apply Trim/Extend, and add End Caps to create professional and accurate welded frames.

This video also dives into Static Stress Analysis using Von Mises criteria — a crucial tool for validating your weldment designs under load conditions.

📐 Key Topics Covered:
🔹 How to create structural members using Weldments
🔹 Applying Trim/Extend to intersecting weldment bodies
🔹 Creating End Caps for tube/pipe terminations
🔹 Setting up material properties and fixtures
🔹 Applying loads and running Static Analysis
🔹 Interpreting Von Mises stress plots and results for design verification

Whether you're a student, engineer, or designer, this video will help you harness the design and simulation capabilities of SolidWorks like a pro.
