When saving objects from weldments, you may encounter a message about this, that objects contain illegal names. Mainly it concerns the sign /, which occurs in the Trim/Extend and the less frequently used Move/Copy operations. The general rule is this, that object names come from the last operation on the object. So you can also change the names directly in the operation tree. Names with....
Inserting a Reinforcement between a flat wall and a cylindrical wall is only possible after selecting the Location. Location is a direction reference, you can mark an edge here (parallel), wall/plane (perpendicular) or sketch line. In older versions of the program, this solution was not possible, it was necessary to look for alternative solutions. Also read: Reinforcement in welded structures with an opening for a weld
In welded structures, two configurations are created by default, machined and welded. What is their idea – you can read below. weldments – machined and welded configurations But today I want to write about other configuration applications. In the properties window, when defining a structural member, at the very bottom there is the Configurations tab. This is where you can select a specific....
Generally, cut-list tables are inserted in technical drawings. Unlike assemblies, it is not possible to insert such a table during modeling. But it is possible to preview it in a different way. To do this, traditionally, go to the properties of welded structures and select the Cut list table tab. If you use different templates – you can also make them....
There are several important options in the weldment settings. These include Cut List Options (1): Create cut lists automatically – should be enabled. He is responsible for it, that the cut-list is inserted automatically, and not manually – as it was in older versions of the program. Automatically update cut lists – should also...
In SOLIDWORKS, you can assign a material to a construction profile from Weldment profiles. However, for the operation to be successful, you have to assign this material to the profile beforehand. Defining the material looks the same as in the case of 3D objects. Then, if you choose a profile with material, select Transfer material from profile. If no material is specified in the selected profile – error will appear....
