Position Welds on a Framework or Special Pick

Note: A weld must be positioned before saving.

There are two methods of positioning welds using weld position buttons on the Framework Weld Selection form (see Create a Weld on a Framework or Special) They are:

• Single Position

• Start & End

To position a weld:

1. Select either Single Position or Start & End radio button.

2. Select Pick on the Framework Weld Selection form (see Create a Weld on a Framework or Special).

   In either case, the Set Weld Position form is displayed. Welds can be made on either a single Pline or on Pline Intersections.

Single Pline

For single position welds, the Set Weld Position form is as shown below.

On the Set Weld Position form:

3. Select the Single Pline radio button.

4. Click the Identify Pline button.

5. From the drop-down menu, select the Pline that requires the weld.

   The selected Pline, and start or end (as appropriate), appear in the Weld Definition text field.

   In this particular case, RTOS is the name of the selected Pline and START is the position of the selected section.

   If you want to define a weld at an intersection, go to below.

Pline Intersections

On the Set Weld Position form (see above):

6. Select the Pline Intersections radio button.

   The available intersecting sections are populated in the list and the Set Weld Position form appears as shown in the figure below.
