- Once your weldment is all assembled and ready to go,
then you might be interested in welding it together.
Now I can use the weld bead tool
to add in some welds and some cosmetic information
showing the size and type of weld it's going to be.
Which you can then bring into a drawing if you need to.
So click on weld bead, and I can come down here
and I'm going to choose to weld these gussets in.
And I can choose a couple different ways to do it,
but one of the easiest ways I find
to choose and select the faces is to use
this smart weld selection tool.
So click on that and then just draw a line
across the two sections, so I want this section here
and this section here, so draw a line from there
over to there, and that should select
both of those sections.
Then click on new weld path, and do the same thing
right up here at the top, and it selects those.
New weld path again, select these faces over here.
New weld path one more time, and those ones there.
Now you can continue on throughout
the rest of this document welding everything as you see fit.
You can change the size of the weld,
you can type in to find the symbols that you want to.
You could do an intermittent weld if you needed to.
You can add all that information right here in your design.
When you're done click on OK, and it will show you
a cosmetic feature showing me where
the weld's going to be, connecting these parts together,
the size and type of weld it's going to be.
And then you can bring that information
into your drawing later on.
I've added these welds here, you can continue on
if you need to, to practice a little bit more
and weld these other corners as need be.
You can see some of this is bolted,
some it it is welded, but I do want to just show you
through the weldment process,
that we have the option for both bolting, welding,
and just connecting things in a variety of different ways.
