Use the Weld definition dialog to define weld parameters.
After you have specified if it is a site weld (or a field weld, if imperial units are selected), you can determine parameters of the defined weld:
- Weld type
- Weld thickness (calculated automatically)
- Dimension(s) for edge preparation are shown in a schematic drawing - the number of parameters depends on a weld type
If you select Intermittent weld, you can define an intermittent fillet weld (composed of many segments of single welds). The drawings below include the following designations:
PE - beginning of a weld
PS - end of a weld
l - length of weld segments
e - spacing between weld segments
All segments of a weld are of the same length (l); spacings between segments of welds are also of the same length.
The following types of intermittent welds are available:
Intermittent weld - one-sided
Intermittent weld - double-sided - chain
Intermittent weld - double-sided - staggered
