In this tutorial, you build a weldment from an assembly.
The weldment file is a variation on the assembly template and opens with the Weld tab active. You can also use any of the other assembly tabs and commands.
You use the welding feature groups (Preparations, Welds, or Machining) to add assembly-level features and fully define your weldment.
Objectives
- Add weld preparation features.
- Create cosmetic and 3D weld beads.
- Add machining features to a welded assembly.
- Rollback to any weldment state.
- Create weldment drawings.
