The Weld Report is created based on data from the calculated welds as well as data from the user defined attributes defined for weld joints and welds.

The Weld Report can be generated in two different ways, interactively or in batch. The extracted raw data are stored in one csv-file. This file can then be automatically edited with a simple macro and printed. The csv files are stored in the file catalogue assigned to the environment variable SB_SHIPPRINT. The name of the file is: weld-<assembly user_name>.csv.

Running interactively, the Weld Report will be automatically generated after the weld calculation if the default parameter CREATE_WELD_REPORT is set to Yes. See also Weld Defaults. In Weld Planning Batch the Weld Report is created if the ASSEMBLY statement contains the attribute /WELD_REPORT.

The first row of the resulting csv-files contains general data for the assembly:

Field No	Attribute	Format	Description
1	Project name	String	The name of the current project.
2	Assembly path name	String	The full assembly path name.
3	Weld Table Comment	String	The weld table comment.
4	Creation date	String	The creation date.
5	Not used.
6	Not used.
7	Not used.
8	Not used.
9	Weld table status	String	The weld table status.
10	Total weld length	Real	The total weld length.
11	Total connection length	Real	The total connection length.
12	Total suspension length	Real	The total suspension length.

The subsequent rows contains joint and weld information, one line for each weld:

Field No	Attribute	Format	Description
1	Joint name	String	The joint name.
2	Joint comment	String	The joint comment.
3	Name of part 1	String	Name for the first part (built-in naming rule). As in AP/WP tree browser.
4	Name of part 2	String	Ditto for the second part.
5	Customized name of part 1	String	Customized part name for the first part according to Part Name Control rule.
6	Customized name of part 2	String	Ditto for the second part.
7	Thickness of part 1	Real	The thickness of the first part.
8	Thickness of part 2	Real	The thickness of the second part.
9	Bevelcode of part 1	Integer	The bevelcode of the first part.
10	Bevelcode of part 2	Integer	The bevelcode of the second part.
11	Material quality of part 1	String	The material quality of the first part.
12	Material quality of part 2	String	The material quality of the second part.
13	Welded joint type	String	The type of the welded joint.
14	Unused	Integer	0
15	Unused	Real	0.0
16	Weld name	String	The weld name.
17	Weld comment	String	The weld comment.
18	Weld leg length	Real	The weld leg length.
19	Weld length	Real	The weld length.
20	Number of layers	Integer	The number of weld layers.
21	Welding position	String	The welding position.
22	Welding process	String	The welding process.
23	Standard process	String	The standard process.
24	Test procedure	String	The test procedure.
25	Start suspension	Real	The start suspension.
26	End suspension	Real	The end suspension.
27	Connection angle	Real	The connection angle.
28	Rotation angle	Real	The rotation angle.
29	Inclination angle	Real	The inclination angle.
30	Total weld length of welded joint	Real	The total welded joint length.
31	Total suspension length of welded joint	Real	The total welded joint suspension length.
32	Assembly name of part 1	String	The local assembly name of the first part.
33	Assembly name of part 2	String	The local assembly name of the second part.
34	Assembly path name for part 1	String	The full assembly path name for the first part.
35	Assembly path name for part 2	String	The full assembly path name for the second part.
36 - x	UDAs for Weld Joint	User Defined	The UDAs defined for MWLDJT
(x+1) - y	UDAs for Weld	User Defined	The UDAs defined for MWELD
