I want to simulate welding process using ANSYS transient heat transfer analysis. Volumetric heat generation given to elements body load as HGEN in ANSYS. But, one single node is common for four elements, shall we divide the hgen value by four.

It depends on where the heat generation will be applied to.
There are various commands to apply heat, i.e. BF, BFE, BFA, BFV...
In my opinion you can use BF, in which the hgen is applied directly on the nodes. Thus you don't have the problem above anymore.
