CSWP Weldments 2

Question 1

When creating a weldment structural member, what controls the orientation of the profile along a path segment?

Accepted Answer

Profile alignment angle in the Structural Member PropertyManager

Answer

The rotation angle field in the Structural Member PropertyManager rotates the 2D profile around the path to achieve the desired orientation.

Question 2

Which weldment feature allows you to remove material at the intersection of two structural members to create a clean joint?

Accepted Answer

Trim/Extend

Answer

The Trim/Extend feature in Weldments trims or extends structural member bodies so they meet cleanly at their intersections.

Question 3

In a SOLIDWORKS weldment, what is the purpose of the 'Locate Profile' option when inserting a structural member?

Accepted Answer

It allows you to specify which point on the profile aligns to the path sketch

Answer

Locate Profile lets you choose a pierce point (corner, midpoint, or custom point) on the 2D cross-section to align with the 3D path sketch.

Question 4

What type of sketch is used as the foundation for weldment structural member paths?

Accepted Answer

Either 2D or 3D sketch

Answer

SOLIDWORKS Weldments supports both 2D and 3D sketches as path sketches for placing structural member profiles.

Question 5

When you split a structural member path segment into groups in the Structural Member command, what is the primary benefit?

Accepted Answer

Each group can use a different profile type or size

Answer

Separating segments into different groups within the Structural Member command allows each group to use a distinct profile standard, type, and size.
