The four node positions on a Weld entity are calculated by using a Half-Length and Tangential Directions. It is recommended that user enters the Half-Length smaller than selected body geometry.

Figure 10.48: Node position for section A

: Center point of section A

node 1 = + Half-length * ( + )

node 2 = + Half-length * ( -+ )

node 3 = + Half-length * ( -- )

node 4 = + Half-length * ( - .)
