Model welds in 3D to improve quality by simulating 
weld preparation, welding, and postweld operations. 

The comprehensive, best-in-class environment for 

the design of weldments includes the ability to 

•  Classify and model fillet, gap, and groove weld 

beads as 3D solids

•  Automatically create 3D annotation based on 

industry or company standards, and automatically 
generate associative 2D weld symbols for 
documentation

•  Create weldment analysis and reports that include  

bead volume reporting and comprehensive 
interference detection of all solid weld bead types

Realize the benefits of 3D design when developing 
very large assemblies. With Level of Detail (LOD) 
representations, users have full control over how 
much information to load when working with 
large assemblies. The user can control memory 
consumption by suppressing components.  

A large assembly “capacity meter” provides a visual 

indication of how much memory is available.

Quickly design and develop welded frames for 

industrial machinery applications. Frame Generator 
automates the design of structural frames with 

specific tools to streamline placement of predefined 
structural shapes and simplify creation of end 
conditions and welded joint cleanup.

 

Avoid costly rework and improve design efficiency 
with easy-to-use online engineering guidance and 
analysis tools. An interactive set of engineering 
calculators builds on standard mathematical 
formulas and physical theories used in both design 
and validation of mechanical systems. Included are 
calculators for weld and solder, plain bearing, plate 
calculator, fit and tolerance, brake, and clamping 
joint operations.
