      Contact tool does not support spot welds. Instead of the contact tool the connections worksheet might help you with whatever information you might be interested in. The worksheet allows you to assess spot welds. Highlight on the Connections group folder which contains all the spot welds and then click on the ‘Worksheet’. A chart with all the information related to a spot weld should be displayed.
