To Define Groove or Butt Weld Shape
The Shape tab shows a graphic image of the weld shape and provides boxes to set values for each dimension. The image and dimensions vary depending on the weld shape.
You must be on the Groove Weld or Butt Weld tab to perform this procedure.
1. Click the Shape tab.
2. In the value boxes, type or select a value for each dimension:
Dimension Name
Image
Weld Size
Root Penetration
Root Opening
For ISO bevel butt and V butt welds, the weld symbol that is displayed in the graphics window can be open (steep flanked) or closed. This depends on the root opening value. If the root opening is zero, the weld symbol will be closed. If the root opening is more than zero, the weld symbol will be open.
