You can create three types of weld features: fillet, groove, and cosmetic welds.
Cosmetic weld features, the preferred type, are represented by graphical elements. You can represent a wide variety of weld beads as cosmetic welds, including fillet welds and various groove welds.
Weld preparations are not required for cosmetic welds. The weld symbol contains the weld preparation required for the selected edges.
Cosmetic weld features do not affect mass properties, and the application does not consider them during interference analysis.
You can also create 3D fillet welds.
- The weld is a true 3D feature in the assembly.
- The program evaluates 3D fillet welds in assembly mass properties and interference analysis.
Tip: Limit the use of 3D fillet welds to specific cases that require functionality not available in cosmetic welds.
