Weld Design is a native app that provides key capabilities to:
- Create welds in 3D digital mockups. This enables designers to manage the digital
preassembly, mass inertia, space reservation, and drafting annotation.
- Automatically prepare the parts once welded, thus creating associative assembly
features in addition to the physical weld element.
- Integrate welds with 3D Design. If the weld material is specified, then the mass and
inertia of the weld ribbons are added to the mass and inertia of the whole assembly. This
enables the user to perform relevant calculations. Welds can also be integrated to the
clash collision analysis and other structural and stress analysis for the assembly.
- Fully integrate welds with Drafting. They are automatically generated in the standard views, section views, and section
cuts and are impacted by the hidden line removal visualization mode of the assembly. 2D
weld annotations can also be created.
Weld Design helps you create the following weld
types:
- Fillet weld
- V-butt weld (with or without prepared parts).
- Bevel-butt weld (with or without prepared parts).
- Square-butt weld (with or without prepared parts).
- Flare-groove weld
- User weld
- User swept weld
The Weld Design app is not compatible with the
Offline
mode.
