The butt weld selection is also driven by customizable user questions and object properties. Additionally, it may need to take into account the presence of a chamfer, as well as any knuckle that creates an angle between the objects.
The questions presented by the delivered butt weld selector are as follows:
Category
May be set to One-Sided or Two-Sided
Workcenter
Sets the workcenter in which the parts are welded. This information can come from Planning.
UpSide
Sets the welding orientation of the part. This information can come from Planning.
ChamferType
The presence of a chamfer, and its location, are noted with this answer. This answer comes from the chamfer rules and is based completely on geometry. You should never change it.
FlipBevel
One of the two parts in a butt weld becomes the reference part, and the other part becomes the non-reference part. In the case of a symmetrical bevel, it does not matter which is which. If the bevel is unsymmetrical, you may use this question to flip the bevel to the other part.
FirstWeldingSide
Decides whether the parts are welded from the molded side, or the anti-molded side. This information can come from Planning.
