In an Inventor weldment, in what order are the three main feature groups applied in the browser?
Answer: Preparations, Welds, Machining
Inventor builds weldments sequentially: preparations shape parts for welding, welds add beads, and machining cuts through the welded result.
A designer converts a standard assembly into a weldment. What is true about reversing this conversion?
Answer: It cannot be converted back to a standard assembly
Convert to Weldment is a one-way operation, so keeping a copy of the original assembly is recommended.
Which weld type adds no 3D solid geometry but can still be documented in drawings?
Answer: Cosmetic weld
Cosmetic welds are lightweight representations without bead solids, used when 3D geometry is not needed.
Which contour options are available for a fillet weld bead in Inventor?
Answer: Flat, Convex, Concave
The fillet weld dialog lets you set the bead face contour as flat, convex, or concave.
A fillet weld must be applied in short segments with spacing between them. Which parameters define this?
Answer: Length and pitch for an intermittent weld
Intermittent fillet welds are controlled by segment length and pitch (center-to-center spacing).
Where should a hole that must pass through two already-welded plates be created in a weldment?
Answer: As a Machining feature
Machining features are applied after welds and cut through both parts and weld beads.
What file type does an Inventor weldment use?
Answer: .iam
A weldment is a specialized assembly and is saved as an .iam file.
