Weld objects represent fabrication (shop) welds that connect work piece components to one another. In the Isogen FIX file, the <Weld> element defines weld object data.

Basic Syntax:

<Weld ID="1" Type="BW">
<End1 X="3207" Y="0" Z="27" E="1311.3" N="8765" U="2430" />
<End2 X="3207" Y="0" Z="27" E="1311.3" N="8765" U="2430" />
<WeldedPart Type="Part" ID="5D5D9039-C6FB-4D97-89AF-70F18DE1793B" End="End2" />
<WeldedPart Type="Part" ID="FBC6F70D-0E4C-41F1-B9AC-8AD4613D80C7" End="End1" />
</Weld>

The Weld element can contain any of the following data:

  • Fixed weld object attributes:

    • ID specifies the weld number as reported by Isogen.

    • Type indicates the weld type as reported by Isogen, such as SOB for set-on branch or BW for butt weld.

    • SKEY identifies the Isogen symbol key, which determines the specific type of weld (WW, FW, and so on).

    • NS, NSUnits specifies the weld nominal size and size units in inches or millimeters.

  • Enumeration of any user-specified attribute values in the source PCF or IDF.

    Project-specific mapping may be needed to interpret these values.

  • Weld start and end coordinates in both local (X,Y,X) and installed (E,N,U) coordinates.

  • Cross-reference (WeldedPart) to work piece components that are connected by the weld. WeldedPart is defined by the following attributes:

    • Type specifies the pipe or part.

    • ID specifies the ID of the welded part

    • Role specifies the role played by a work piece in the connection, such as Main, Branch, or End.
