Specify a Certification Regulation

Use the Specifications tool to assign a weld specification.

Note: In cases where there are a large number of welds in the model, it may be better to specify the classification after completion of the screening process so that the classification parameters can be specified only for the welds that need to be evaluated.
  1. From the Setup tools, click the Specifications tool.
    Figure 1.
    The Weld Specification dialog opens.
  2. Select an option from the regulation drop down menu.
    • DVS 1612 (Welds evaluation only)
    • Eurocode 3 (Welds and unwelded evaluation)
    • FKM (Welds and unwelded evaluation)
  3. Optional: Activate the Weld Property File checkbox and browse for a pre-defined .xml file which contains the data of all the classification parameters with respect to each weld line.
    Note: A weld property file can be created from the Points tool.
  4. Click Apply.
    Default parameters are applied to all weld line evaluation points according to the selected specification.
