About Creating Welding Features
You define welds using the Fillet Weld, Groove Weld, Butt Weld, Plug/Slot Weld, and Spot Weld tabs. Additionally, you define the following welding-related features in the Weld Definition dialog box:
• Edge Prep (Edge Preparation)—Prepares edges for welding when models require certain strength.
• Notch—Creates a cut that enables welds to cross model components without interruption.
You can define one or more welding features at a time. When defining multiple features, you can create edge preparations, welds, and notches in a sequential order. For weld and edge preparation features, you can create a single feature, the same weld on both sides of the metal wall (symmetrical), or for the weld feature only, separate welds on both sides of the metal wall (unsymmetrical).
