Description
The SOLIDWORKS Weldments course will teach you how to create welded structures with standard structural members and weld beads. Weldments is a functionality command available in Solidworks. It enables the designer to design a weldment structure component as a single multibody part. Weldments are typically structural section cut in size and held together by using a welding process. Weldments are a common process for structural members and parts. To create weldments initially we will be creating a basic sketch as a framework. Based on the basic sketch we will be creating the profiles for structuresWeldment FeaturesWeldmentsStructural MembersGroups vs. Structural MembersManual Trimming of Structural MembersAdding PlatesGussets and End CapsUsing SymmetryProfile SketchesWorking with WeldmentsManaging the Cut ListAdvantages of a Multibody PartLimitations of a Multibody PartWorking with WeldmentsManaging the Cut ListCut List Item NamesAccessing PropertiesCut-List Properties DialogStructural Member PropertiesAdding Cut List PropertiesBounding Boxes in WeldmentsOptions for Generating Cut List ItemsCustom Structural Member ProfilesDefining MaterialCreating Custom ProfilesStandard or Configured ProfilesInserting Existing PartsWhen to Use an AssemblyConfiguring and Detailing WeldmentsWeldment ConfigurationsPost-Assembly Machining FeaturesWeldment DrawingsDrawing Views of Individual BodiesRepresenting WeldsWorking with Bent Structural MembersWorking with Bent Structural Members3D SketchingIntroduction to Structure SystemStructure SystemPrimary vs. Secondary MembersSecondary Members
