Welding and Bevel Information

In the clip macro it is possible to define bevel/welding intervals along the clip geometry. Each interval is defined by a starting point, ending point and a type code indicating the type of interval. The type code indicates for instance that this specific part of the clip contour is welded against the shell, against the web of the profile section or along the plate which the clip overlaps. Depending on the type code a certain bevel code/weld is chosen. Bevel codes and welds can be given either in the macro via the output parameters WELD-BCSHELL, or by corresponding keywords in the input scheme. User input will always override the values given in the macro.
Below is a table listing all types of intervals and the macro parameter/scheme keyword that is connected to this specific type of interval.
The connection angles of the clip edges against the web, the flange and the shell plate are calculated automatically.
