Can a part be welded on itself (§ attachment)?

Yes, like a tube, some of them are rolled welded
Yes, but how do you do it with SolidWorks?
To represent the cord by SW tools (at least in SW13), the 2 faces must be joined. In your case, it's not possible. The solution remains to cheat, especially by drawing the cord yourself.
In real life, yes!
In solidworks, a weld seam can only be put between 2 bodies:(
Hello
In 3 days, i.e. Monday, October 13th, SW2015 SP0 will be released in which it will be possible to create a weld seam on a single body (example: tube).

Wait for 2015;) To make the cord in volume. No choice
