Weld Connections
Each weld on the weld table contains an associated connection key that specifies its connection.
-
You can add multiple welds to a single connection at different locations.
-
Connection A connects to branch pipe and Connection B connects to the header pipe.
-
Connections A or B indicate that the same welds are located on the corresponding Gusset plates.
Weld Locations
Each connection has four predefined locations, 2, 4, 6, and 8, similar to cardinal points on a steel cross-section. The locations control the weld location in the weld plane. You can also use the three offset rules to offset the weld from the predefined location. You can add additional locations as per your requirement. The location values are available in the hsFrameWeldLocation sheet of HS_S3DAssy_Codelist workbook.
