Chapter 10

Weldment Design

For this chapter, you must have a good understanding of parts, assemblies, and drawings. You will cover the various aspects of weldment design. Starting from weldment workflows and design methodologies, you'll look at preparations, weld beads, machining features, and weld symbols, as well as how to document the weldment design. You will also learn some tips and tricks along the way.

Weldments are available in the assembly environment as a subtype of the assembly document. Most of the topics in this chapter require an assembly to be open. Therefore, this chapter is not applicable if you have only Inventor LT installed.

In this chapter, you will learn how to:

• Select and use the right weldment design methodology
• Create and edit weld preparations and machining features
