Hello
Quick question, I may need to use Creo2.0. So I rummage around to get back in my head the biniou which has changed a lot...
One thing I can't find is the equivalent of SW's welded construction?
Do you need a specific module?
How do I know which module I have?
Hello
To see your modules:
File - Help - System Information.
All my welded constructions are made with the basic module, nothing specific.
It is possible to indicate the weld symbols on the drawings or to represent them on the 3d.
However, I am not able to compare the SW module with Creo.
Try going to the Application - Soldering menu.

it seems to match the welded construction of SW

Hello
There is an AFX (Advanced Framework Extension) extension for welded constructions.
Personally, I have not and never used it
Metal construction structures or welded constructions are widespread in many industries and serve as the basis for a wide range of equipment. Without the right tools, the definition, design and documentation of these construction structures can be time-consuming and laborious.
PTC Creo Advanced Framework Extension (AFX)
The base product provides full access to the parts library and user controls, but if you are working on large assemblies and need additional functionality, you can upgrade to the PTC Creo AFX upgrade.
With PTC Creo AFX, you can add an unlimited number of profiles, screw fasteners, or equipment parts to your assembly. This extension provides more advanced functionality to enable higher levels of productivity on specific aspects of structural design such as stairs and ramps. Watch the video introducing PTC Creo AFX through the PTC Learning Exchange.
Bottom Line : PTC Creo Parametric offers key features that help engineers and designers design and document steel structures and boost productivity far better than standard modeling techniques.
Visit the PTC Creo Parametric product page to learn more. Or contact our product experts if you're interested in PTC Creo Parametric or PTC Creo Advanced Framework Extension.

Hello
Two videos that may enlighten you:
The AFX add-on:

Without the complement (a priori):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BziI1YXRrtA
I had indeed seen this AFX module, hence my question.
@PL, in the second video, it's just a module for the weld seams. This is the module that s.b. is talking about.
@s.b: How do you go about drawing a tube frame for example?
To compare, with SW, we make a 3d sketch and with the welded constructions "module", we assign a section to each segment. The sections are 2D sketches in the library. Then we can manage the connections between the profiles.
If you don't mind, can you send me a basic example?
I'm willing to send something, but I don't do very advanced mechanical-welding.
Just a U welded to a plate and a gusset.
I build everything in standard 3d.
I'll see if I have time to dig through the menu. You want to see hits that intersect each other, right?
I want the U with the sheet metal and the gusset. It will already give me an overview.
Drop the rest for now. If it happens, I would be with a customer who provides me with the machine and there is a team in place, they have surely developed their work methodology, I just wanted to avoid arriving with a "basic" problem of this kind with a too floured face.
Hello
Attached is the type of part I make in welded.
And again on this one I added soldering.
