Weld Creation Mode

The Weld Design application allows you to create welds according to two modes:

Default Creation Mode

This mode allows you to create your weld by selecting the geometrical elements on the assembly components, geometrical elements which are taken into account to perform the weld.
Using this mode you can create the weld material, and modify the related assembly components according to the weld parameters.
  This mode is identified with this icon: .
The assembly before welding looks like this:
 
The weld is created, the related parts have been modified.
 

Without Preparation Mode

This mode allows you to create your weld by selecting the geometrical elements on the assembly components, geometrical elements which are taken into account to perform the weld.
Using this mode you can create the weld material, but you do not modify the related assembly components. In this case the weld parameters are defined by the assembly component geometries.
  This mode is identified with this icon: .
The assembly before welding looks like this:
 
The weld is created, shape and position of the related parts have been kept and taken into account to drive the weld design.
