ILoveMadoka Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 (I am using SW 2013 per job standard) I placed a fillet weld between two pieces of metal and the weld comes in as a cylinder rather than a 90 degree representation like one would expect. I have tried all sorts of combinations in the settings with no desirable results.. Can anyone shed some light on how to get a more accurate representation for my fillet weld? There was nothing about this in the weldment exam!! Thanks! Quote
shift1313 Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 2 things. There are two types of weld beads. A fillet weld actually makes a solid and its more of a legacy feature they left there. The "weld bead" is differenr and what you have. Its not a physical weld but a graphic representation. Its always a cylinder. Graphically it doesnt look great but its appropriately sized and has tons of data that gets sent to the 2s drawing for callouts and weld tables. If you want a physical looking weld use a "fillet weld" but note this isnt prefered and doesn't bring anything valuable to your drawing. Quote
