Week - 5 - Modelling Spotwelds

The spotwelds should be modeled using beam elements and solid elements separately. While using solid elements, one spotweld should have one solid element. The axial and shear force should be compared among beam and solid elements. The same material card using *MAT_SPOTWELD should be used for both beam and solid elements. You can use steel material data for *MAT_SPOTWELD cards and calibrate the failure data according to your results. The best simulation should have a failure at half of the termination time.

All deliverable exactly similar to assignment 4 but beam and solid spotweld results should be compared in relevant cases.
