Solder

3D Design Volume Model

Is it possible to have a prettier appearance, to represent a weld in an assembly than the "flange" created by the function?

Just to have a much more realistic rendering.

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi @ hdijoux

show us what you have like in terms of your solder via a screenshot

The advantage is to be able to count it in your nomenclature

Now you also have the possibility to create your own weld bead via the tool

Here's what I get.

I'm going to use your gt22 method, I think it will be more presentable.

Thank you

Personally, we don't use welding in 3D, but only in plans.

It can be interesting to model it for weight calculation! On some assemblies, we have 40 to 60mm chamfers, that's a lot of welding!

We don't use 3D or 2D... except in exceptional cases.

The guys always do the same welds and my machine breathes better without this modeling.

For the weight, we add a markup to have "more or less" the right thing.

 

And now, I realize that there are way too many approximations in this company, it depresses me!! -_-"

 

Otherwise, GT22's sweep-based technique seems like a good idea. But then, just out of curiosity, you can vary the length of your cord without having X config/piece?

Thank you all,

Making the cords is just to modify my QMOS, so that they are a little more presentable than the existing one.

It's up to you to play with your guide curve (sketches)

for diff weld lengths

Oh yes, not bad 3D QMOS! At home it's in 2D on AutoCAD

Hello

Otherwise you can use the gusset function which allows you to create your cords faster, by applying a different material on your cords it can be a solution.

Well done Anthony, for the fillet welds it can make the task easier.

Hello

 

I am currently looking into this subject. I have big problems with reaction time on my software which pedals for 10 minutes to perform a simple butt welding.... I guess it's not very normal....

Who can help me make this feature more responsive? Note: I don't have these heaviness when I use the fillet weld function....

 

Thank you!
