To help you determine accurate weld rod usage, fabrication time, and bead weights, you can export weld bead physical properties to a spreadsheet. You can query the mass, volume, length, type, and name of individual beads in the weldment assembly. Or you can list all the weld beads in the current assembly and in all referenced weldment files. The names of the referenced files are included in the report. You can generate a weld bead report from any assembly document.
Length and Area values are not reported for groove welds.
Once the weld bead properties are exported to the spreadsheet, you can insert your own formulas to obtain cost information or paste the table into a drawing for reference.
- On the ribbon, click Weld tab
Weld panel Bead Report in a weldment assembly. - In the Report Location dialog box, accept the default name or enter a different one.
- Browse to the location where you want to place the file.
- Click Save.
Note: Groove weld length is not calculated and is displayed as N/A in the report.
