Edge Weld Connector Enhancements

Several enhancements for the Edge Weld connector improve its usability.

  • The program calculates the Estimated weld throat size when you define edge weld connectors in the Edge Weld Connector PropertyManager. The formulas for the calculation of the Estimated weld throat size are given in the table.
    Weld Type Estimated Weld Throat Size
    Fillet Estimated weld size * square root (2) / 2
    Groove Estimated weld size / 2
  • The icons for Weld Orientation in the Edge Weld Connector PropertyManager for the Groove, Single-sided type of connectors are updated to show an accurate representation of the edge weld type.
  • The Weld Check Plot annotation also lists the Calculated weld throat size and the Estimated weld throat size for each edge weld connector.
