Weld shapes consist of several plates welded together
to a shape cross-section. In most cases, they are considered as one shape at
construction. In principle, they are some kind of combination shape consisting
only of plates.
As it is the case with the other special shapes, weld
shapes are managed in catalogues as well. Thus, you may refer to the essential
information there with regard to catalogues; shape names and parts list
entries. Two different kinds of weld shapes are managed by
OpenBridge Modeler.
Weld shapes —Standard and I-Type
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Standard Weld Shapes
|
Standard weld shapes can have any plates at any
positions. You can create box shapes, U-shapes or others using these shapes.
The shapes have a constant cross-section and can be adapted via the slope.
|
| I-Type Weld Shapes
|
I-form weld shapes consist of three plates that are
organized like an I-shape. These plates can be individually adjusted. However,
the greatest advantage of this kind of weld shapes is that the web plate can be
individually adjusted. Even very complex weld constructions can thus be
depicted via a shape.
