Abstract

In this paper, the Natural Element Method (NEM) together with the alpha shapes and some extra numerical procedures are used in the simulation of hollow profiles, emphasizing on the simulation of the welding lines. Numerical results are compared with experimental ones, checking the accuracy of the method.
