About Groove or Butt Welds
In a groove or butt weld, the components being connected are located on the same plane. Groove welds and butt welds refer to the same weld type, where groove weld is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) term, and butt weld is the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) term.
Use the Groove Weld (ANSI) or Butt Weld (ISO) tool to create a groove or butt weld. Use the Weld Wizard to create a groove or butt weld at the same time as an edge preparation, a notch, or both.
