You can add weld beads to weldment parts and assemblies, and multibody parts.
Key features of weld beads:
- Compatibility with all types of geometry, including bodies with gaps
- Inclusion of weld bead properties in drawings using weld tables
- Automatically created weld symbols
- Association of weld symbols with the weld beads
- In the FeatureManager design tree, a separate Weld Bead
folder that contains the weld beads
Weld beads use a simplified display. They are displayed as graphical representations in models. No geometry is created. The weld beads are lightweight and do not affect performance.
