Creating User Weld

This task shows you how to create a user weld. A user weld is a personal weld which shape is designed by the user to meet his special needs.
Open the weld2 CATProduct document.
  To shorten our scenario, this sample document already contains the body that will be used for the weld's geometry, the corresponding weld annotation as well as the assembly feature (Assembly Remove) associated to the weld.
 
  These creation steps are the first operations you must accomplish prior to creating a user weld. You also need to assign the material of your choice.
  1. Click the User Weld icon:

 

The User Weld Creation dialog box appears.

 
 

The Remove the part of weld bead from the bill of material option allows you to remove form the bill of material the part used to define this kind of weld, because it is not specified as assembly component.

 
  1. Enter a meaningful name in the Weld Name field to identify your weld.

 
  1. Select Body.2 below the Part.5 node as the body representing the weld bead.

 

Its name appears in the Weld Bead field.

 
  1. Select the annotation associated with your weld.

 

Its name appears in the Annotation field.

 
  1. The Welded Parts section is dedicated to the selection of the parts to be welded. Select Green Part and Blue Part.

 

Your weld will be created in the joint body of an assembly joint linking the welded parts.

 
  1. The Associated Assembly Features section is dedicated to the selection of the assembly feature that has to be associated to the weld. Select Assembly Remove.1.

 
  1. Click OK to confirm and create the weld.

 

Just to check the validity of the operation, take a look at the specification tree.
