Syntax

public sealed class WeldPathSpecification

Constructors

WeldPathSpecification()

Class representing all the weld information about how a new weld should be created

Declaration

public WeldPathSpecification()

Properties

ArrowSide

The 'arrow' side of the weld.

Declaration

public WeldSide ArrowSide { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
WeldSide

CreateDistinctWeldsPerSegment

Indicates if each created segment is considered to be a distinct weld. In some cases, auto detailing is better able to recognize such welds, and they, therefore, may produce better details.

Declaration

public bool CreateDistinctWeldsPerSegment { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

IsOtherSideSeparable

Is the other weld side separable.

Declaration

public bool IsOtherSideSeparable { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

IsSpacerBarRequired

Indicates the supplementary symbol for a spacer bar ('M' inside a rectangle) will be drawn as a part of the weld symbol for V and Bevel groove welds

Declaration

public bool IsSpacerBarRequired { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

IsStitched

Is the weld stitched

Declaration

public bool IsStitched { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

IsWeldedAllAround

Indicates if a continuous weld is generated around every edge of the material, including material radii

Declaration

public bool IsWeldedAllAround { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

JointDesignation

A letter (1 character) prequalified weld tail joint designation.

Declaration

public string JointDesignation { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
string

Exceptions

Type	Condition
InvalidValueException	Thrown when designation is an invalid value.

MaterialChamferDepth

The chamfer depth for the material being welded for bevel and v groove welds. Zero depth will not chamfer the material

Declaration

public double MaterialChamferDepth { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

MaximumGap

The distance in inches that to-be-welded materials must be closer than in order for welds to be generated

Declaration

public double MaximumGap { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

MinimumWeldLength

Specifies the minimum distance in inches that welds must have in order to be generated

Declaration

public double MinimumWeldLength { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

MoveTailTextToShopNote

Determines whether tail text is shown on the detail as a 'Shop Note'

Declaration

public bool MoveTailTextToShopNote { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

OtherSide

The 'other' side of the weld.

Declaration

public WeldSide OtherSide { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
WeldSide

OtherStitchType

Stitch spacing type for the other side.

Declaration

public StitchType OtherStitchType { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
StitchType

Penetration

Class representing all the weld information about how a new weld should be created

Declaration

public WeldPenetrationType Penetration { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
WeldPenetrationType

Position

Prequalified weld tail position

Declaration

public WeldPositionType Position { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
WeldPositionType

Process

Prequalified weld tail process

Declaration

public WeldProcessType Process { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
WeldProcessType

Segments

A deep copy of a weld layout. If the segments are not empty this indicates SDS2 will use the specified layout to generate welds.

Declaration

public WeldPathSegmentList Segments { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
WeldPathSegmentList

UsePrequalifiedWeldTailText

Determines whether PrequalifiedTailText, WeldJointType, JointDesignation, Process, and Position are used

Declaration

public bool UsePrequalifiedWeldTailText { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

WeldInsideSurfaces

Indicates if both the inside and outside surfaces of HSS sections should generate welds

Declaration

public bool WeldInsideSurfaces { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

WeldJoint

Prequalified weld tail joint

Declaration

public WeldJointType WeldJoint { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
WeldJointType

Methods

~WeldPathSpecification()

Class representing all the weld information about how a new weld should be created

Declaration

protected ~WeldPathSpecification()

GenerateWelds(Material, MaterialList)

Adds welds to the member of the first material connecting that material to all the other materials. Must be called with an existing Transaction.

Declaration

public WeldList GenerateWelds(Material material, MaterialList weldTo)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Material	material
MaterialList	weldTo

Returns

Type	Description
WeldList

Exceptions

Type	Condition
InvalidOperationException	Thrown if this is called outside of a writable Transaction.
NotAddedException	Thrown when the member containing the material to weld has not beed added to the transaction
NotLockedException	Thrown when the member containing the material to weld is unlocked
InvalidValueException	Thrown when any of the material parameters do not have valid and active handles, i.e. they must be a part on a member that is added to the job. Fillet welds will also throw if any of Segments define a ToFilletRoot equal to the cross product of the segment's ToGlobalCoordinates XAxis and YAxis. To avoid this create fillet segments via WeldPathSegment.FromFilletLayout, WeldPathSegment.FromFilletSegment, and WeldProfileFillet.GetWeldPathSegment.
