Command - Prb_SplitMergeWelds

              

This command allows you to split or merge the weld segments of 3D welds.

This dialog box can remain open for your convenience, and it has the following capabilities :

Split welds

The Split welds button is influenced by the 3 radio buttons :

  • Split all segments into separate welds - When this is selected, you will be able to choose a crossing window to select multiple welds at once. All of the welds inside the selection will be split.
  • Split selected segments into separate welds - When this is selected, then you will be asked to select each individual weld segment that needs to be split. Each segment that you select will be stored into a new separate 3D weld.
  • Split selected segments into a single new weld - When this is selected, then you will be asked to select each individual weld segment that needs to be split. If you select multiple segments of the same 3D weld, then at the end of the command those segments will be stored together into a single new weld.


Merge welds

The Merge welds button is influenced by the following options :

  • Merge fillet welds only - When this is enabled, only welds of type Fillet will be merged
  • Merge only if equal weld sizes - When this is selected, then only welds with the same size will be merged
  • Maximal merging, even if weld size differs - When this is selected, then welds will always be merged, even if they differ in size.

The merge action allows you to merge several 3D welds at once by using a crossing window.
