This task shows you how to create a double-V
butt weld. |
|
Open the
Assembly_for_Welding_01
CATProduct document:
|
|
-
Click the Double-V Butt Weld icon:
|
|
The Double-V Butt Weld Creation dialog
box is displayed: |
|
|
|
-
Enter a meaningful name in the Weld Name field
to identify your double V butt weld: New Double V Butt
|
|
-
Select the Convex shape.
|
|
-
Enter a value to define the convex offset: 0.5 mm
|
|
-
Unselect Weld Symbol option in the
Annotation tab.
|
|
-
To define how the V butt weld is trimmed, enter values to
define both ends of the weld. For example, enter 5 mm in the
first and second limit.
|
|
The application does not let you trim welds if
the intersection between faces is closed. |
|
-
Select edges of adjacent surfaces as shown on the
brick-red plate and purple plate with the following order: red-brick
plate, purple plate, reverse the assembly, red-brick plate, purple plate.

To identify the joint under which you will place the weld
in the specification tree, enter a name in the Assembly Joint

Click the Material Assignment tab to define the
material you wish to assign to the double V butt weld as well as the part
that will contain the resulting geometry.
|

|
Taking a closer look at the double V butt weld,
you can notice that it was not created along the entire length of matching
geometries as specified in the trimming options and that its surface is
flat. |
