New FeatureScript Weld

Member, Developers, Channel partner Posts: 867 ✭✭✭✭✭
We would like to introduce you a new FeatureScript that @mbartlett21 and I have created
FeatureScript Weld
This custom feature creates welds using the user’s selection.
It currently supports fillet welds and many types of butt welds.
Something I think Onshape people will like to know is that Morgan @mbartlett21 and I do not know each other. We have never seen each other in real life or online, we have not heard our voices and we are even literally in the antipodes of this precious connected planet, Australia and Spain.

So cool to see collaboration work across the world! Awesome job on the FS!Tim Rice | User Experience | Support

Great feature! I imagine some of the inspiration came from @urszula_wachulska's weld? https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/10450/welds-custom-feature-script
The collaboration aspect is wonderful as well -- the world gets smaller one feature at a time

@ilya_baran You are right!!. The idea of create this collaboration project in FeatureScript came from the @urszula_wachulska's weld Feature as you can see here
But the code is new and we are not using code from nDraft. as you can see in this GitHub PR.
Fortunately, @urszula_wachulska has also participated in the project, as you can see in this issue of GitHub, although she has not participated in the code, which is why she does not appear in the copyright.
By the way, many thanks to @urszula_wachulskafor her advice and information.
This project is open to anyone who wants to collaborate, there is already an open issue with the points to add in version 2
Un saludo,

Thanks for creating this feature. It is indeed useful.
Will FS weld create a V butt weld on two cylinders [two different parts]

@sharjeel_faiz I think it is possible, but please share a document to know exactly what do you wantUn saludo,

Great feature that I've just come to use. Can I ask if intermittent welds are a possible enhancement?1
-
I was just ready to ask this myself! I have started using this feature script and boy, oh boy does this have potential. With a few changes, I feel like we could use the weld feature script + Publications to totally eliminate the need for weld drawings on the shop floor!paul_masser said:Great feature that I've just come to use. Can I ask if intermittent welds are a possible enhancement?
The main changes I would need are (in order):- addition of stitch welding (intermittent).
- partial weld distance (this could work similar to the recently released partial flange or partial fillet features)
- butt welding on an in-context part studio.
- the icing on the cake would be the ability to wrap welds around the ends of plate. I have gotten into some scenarios where the current feature script doesn't do so well near tube radii and the ends of plates.

I'm glad you like this FeatureScript
@MBartlett21 and I shared the code for this FeatureScript on Github https://github.com/mbartlett21/weld-featurescript and for version 2 some of these options were indicated. See https://github.com/mbartlett21/weld-featurescript/issues/53
Actually you can use this FeatureScript in an in-context part studio- butt welding on an in-context part studio.

Perhaps I am missing something but the scenario I have here is a butt weld needed between this tube and plate. Both parts are part of the context's assembly and cannot be modified from here. In fact, we wouldn't want any modification to the parts as this isn't what is considered a prepared joint. The weld is simply laid down on top of the joint.emagdalenaC2i said:

Here I modeled something sort of crude for what I am envisioning with a butt weld. And then getting the fillet weld to join nicely with the butt weld? THAT would be amazing.

See this example...

Hi,
This is one neat FS with a lot of potential!
I have two questions:
1. Is there an option to make offset in respect to center of material thickness, of for example "V-Butt weld"?
2. Is there an option to combine for examples "V-Butt weld" and "Bevel Butt"? One on one side of the plate, and one on the another.

Would it be something similar to this? You can set the Root gap manually
I think so. Try Other side optionAnte said:2. Is there an option to combine for examples "V-Butt weld" and "Bevel Butt"? One on one side of the plate, and one on the another.
You can also play with the Root gap in both sides

Hi,

I've got only a question:
Is there an option to make offset in respect to center of material thickness?
This is greatly needed for thicker materials joint design, as they are not symmetrical through thickness most of the time.

i never knew about this and wanted to use a visual representation on my drawings for customers
i created a frame profile that i was going to use

ill need to look into how to use yours
thanks0 -
Just came across this custom feature. It looks really useful, but I can't seem to manage to weld coped profiles with it. Is this possible?
2 -
I don`t think so, I-ve had a cimilar issue, it seams not to work well with cilindrical faces.
0 -
I love this feature! It`s really well done.
The only think I`s add is the possibility of using a cilindrical face. For exemplo if I want to weld a planar face into a filleted face, like in the picture attached.
