Automatic Weld Definition using Execution Units (EU)

This document describes the set-up and customization of rules for automatic fillet weld calculation (Weld Leg Length = WLL) in AVEVA Marine. The full implementation is made in AVEVA Marine Weld Planning, however some of the functionality is also available when using AVEVA Marine Planar Hull only.

The automatic calculation is activated when a fillet weld is detected between two steel structures and no WLL values are given already in the modelling phase. All calculations are made in two steps. First step is to calculate the weld factor and second step is to translate this weld factor into a WLL. The rules for calculation of weld factors are stored in objects called Execution Unit.
