    The affected representations are now prepared for the welding.

    The bevel-butt weld appears in the tree.
    • An assembly protected weld preparation is created and appears under the Assembly features node.
    • The welded 3D shapes are prepared.
      Important: In the tree, the weld impact appears as a feature in the PartBody including impacted 3D shapes. A rep impact is created, maintaining a link between the root product under which the bundle of weld, weld body, and welds are created. Rep impact appears under Impacts manager .
