Each Cradle shoe support excel sheet has a corresponding Excel sheet for welds. The weld sheets specify the weld parts that are added to the support and their location. The weld parts are then included in the drawings.

  • Each support has a predefined number of connections for which the welds are specified.

  • Each connection has several predefined locations for the welds and location specifies the placement of the weld object for a specific connection. The weld annotation leader points to this location in the fabrication drawing.

You can add multiple welds to a single connection, each weld with a different location. If the predefined locations do not allow you to place a weld at the required position in the support, you can specify rules to offset the weld object in the X, Y, and Z direction. These directions are defined for each connection.

Weld Excel Sheet Design

The weld Excel sheet name consists of two parts, the support sheet name followed by '_Welds'. For example, if the support Excel sheet name is BM, then the weld sheet name is BM_Welds.

A weld sheet has the following columns:

Name

Specifies a unique name for the weld.

SupportPartNumber

Specifies the catalog support part number to which the weld is added.

WeldPartNumber

Specifies the catalog part number for the weld.

Location

Specifies the location at which the weld is placed with respect to a connection. For permissible locations for a support, see the related support content in this guide.

OffsetXValue or OffsetXRule

Specifies the value or the rule that defines the offset for the weld in the X direction. The rule takes a higher precedence if both the rule and the value are specified.

OffsetYValue or OffsetYRule

Specifies the value or the rule that defines the offset for the weld in the Y direction. The rule takes a higher precedence if both the rule and the value are specified.

OffsetZValue or OffsetZRule

Specifies the value or the rule that defines the offset for the weld in the Z direction. The rule takes a higher precedence if both the rule and the value are specified.

Weld Connections

For each weld added in the weld table, there is a connection key that specifies its connection.

Multiple connections can be added to a single connection at different locations.
