Setting Up Weld Resources

The generation of advanced weld features such as welds with convex or concave shapes, requires a resource. The administrator or the leader of the Collaborative Spaces needs to set up this resource using the Data Setup tool.

To create advanced welds, Advanced sketch-based profile must also be selected.

This task shows you how to:

Import

You first need to import the required 3D XML resource.

  1. To import …\win_b64\startup\Welding\WeldingResources\WeldingResourceSet-DassaultSystemes-WDG-6.421.2.3dxml , select Add > Import 3DXML.
  2. Select Import As Reference.

Open Data Setup

You can use Data Setup to bind the resources to the Collaborative Spaces.

  1. Open Data Setup.
  2. Access Welding Resource Set in Resource Tables.
  3. Drag the Welding Resource Set under the corresponding collaborative space node.
    The Welding Resource Set is bound with the collaborative space where the Weld Design app is used to create welds.
  4. Repeat Step 3 for every collaborative space where Weld Design is used.

Note: This procedure must be done only once. For more information, see Data Setup:Associating a Resource Table with a Collaborative Space.

Update Weld Resource

If the weld resource has been updated by Dassault Systèmes, you can import the 3D XML resource again to reflect the changes.

Then, you can update the Weld Resource Set using Data Setup.

  1. Reimport …\win_b64\startup\Welding\WeldingResources\WeldingResourceSet-DassaultSystemes-WDG-6.421.2.3dxml as explained in Import.
  2. Select Upgrade the selected Resource Table...
