Find Welds Between Primary and Adjacent Parts

Find welds on the edges between a single primary part and a group of adjacent parts.

1. On the Connections workbench toolbar, click (Create seam weld).
2. In the dialog, define the Section size (the length measured from the toe to the root of the weld).
3. Define the Minimum length.
   Note: Any geometric edges found that are less than the minimum weld length will not receive a weld.
4. Optional: Activate the Intermittent weld checkbox to specify intermittent welds.
   Note: Two parameters, weld pitch and weld segment length, are required for intermittent welds. the pitch must be greater than the segment length.
