Spot and Laser Welds

Spot weld connects two parts over a circular area on the contacting surfaces. Laser weld connects the contacting surfaces over a strip created along a user-drawn line or a polyline.

For spot welds, the spot center is projected onto the contact area in normal to the surface direction, and a circular connection domain is created.

For laser welds, the line is projected onto the contact area in normal to the surface direction, then widened to create the connection domain.
