Weld Line Naming Conventions
- the connection type
- the number of connected parts
- the names of the connected components
For example, a butt weld connecting the components comp1
and
comp2
will be named: hlw_B2#comp1#comp2
.
Consider this weld name as another example:
hlw_T2_CustomName_#Component1#Component2
.
- The weld line name should always start with
hlw_
. This is the way HL-WC identifies weld components in the model. - The first letter after
hlw_
will refer to the type of the weld (B, O, L and T). For example,hlw_T
is a T weld. - The number after the weld type indicates the number of components the weld
connects. For example,
T2
means that the weld connects two components. CustomName
can be any text given by you.- The final portion of the weld name is the list of components connected by weld.
The component names are to be preceded by
#
. For example,#Component1#Component2#Component3.
