About Strategies for Designing Weldments
Learn when and how to use weld features or cosmetic welds to help with assembly size and performance, drawing automation, and specialized weld state drawing views.
About the Weldments Environment
You can create weldment models using a combination of welding-specific and assembly commands or convert assembly models into weldments.
About Weld Feature Groups
A weldment is comprised of three unique weld feature groups representing the stages of the manufacturing process.
About Weld Bead Feature Types
Weld bead features capture the weld specification, associate it with selected geometry, and display a weld symbol.
To Convert Assemblies to Weldments
You can convert an assembly to a weldment at any time. The default weldment template is not applied when converting an assembly.
To Manage the Weldment Browser
Manage the display and edit options for weldment folders such as Preparations, Welds, and Machining.
Convert to Weldment Reference
Sets the standards to use when converting an existing assembly file to a weldment assembly.
About Templates for Weldments
You can use the default template or another predefined template, modify one of the predefined templates, or create your own templates.
About Welding Symbols on Models
Model based weld beads for fillet, groove, and cosmetic welds can have associated welding symbols. You can create them when you create a weld feature, or you can also create them in a separate operation.
