This task shows you how to create a fillet
weld. |
|
Open the
Assembly_for_Welding_02
CATProduct document:
|
|
-
Click the Fillet Weld icon:
|
|
The Fillet Weld Creation dialog box is
displayed. |
|
|
|
-
Enter a meaningful name in the Weld Name field
to identify your fillet weld: New Fillet
|
|
-
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 fillet 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 faces as shown on the green plate and blue plate
with the following order: green plate, blue plate.
|
|
Two adjacent surfaces must be selected to define
this type of weld. |
|
|
|
-
Click the Connection tab to access additional
options.
|
|
-
To identify the joint under which you will place the weld
in the specification tree, enter a name in the Assembly Joint
field (or keep the default name). For example, enter New Joint.
|
|
-
Create a new joint body in which you want to identify
New Joint, and give a new name for the joint body: New Joint
Body
|

-
Click the Material Assignment tab to define the
material you wish to assign to the fillet weld as well as the part that
will contain the resulting geometry.
|
|
-
Click OK to create the fillet weld.
|
|
Taking a closer look at the fillet 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. |
