Extending Fillet Welds 

This task shows you how to propagate fillet welds by selecting faces tangent to each other.
Open the weld_fillet.CATProduct document.
1.  This part already includes a weld created between Part.1 and Part.2.


2.  In the specification tree or in the geometry, double-click Weld.1 to edit it. For more information about this operation, please refer to Editing Welds.

The Fillet Weld Creation dialog box is displayed.

3. Click 'Surface' on top of the list in the Selection field.

The green face is highlighted in the geometry area. This means that the application is going to include faces tangent to it in the selection. In our example, the blue face is the affected face, so that the application is going to extend the fillet weld along that face.

Click the Propagation button.

'yes' now appears in the Tangent Propagation column, indicating that a propagation is required.

If you wish to return to the previous state, simply click the Propagation button again.

The weld fillet extends along the blue face.
