Start welding right away. With weld patterns marked on the plates there is no need for manual pre-marking of welds always conform to your class welding patterns.
Weld Markings
A custom weld pattern can be marked on your parts, this saves a lot of time during the build of your construction. The weld patterns are defined by a code that includes the minimal weld length, the maximal spacing, and the rhythm of the welds.
For example 75,200,sh
Full weld level
The full weld level determines to which height all plates need to be fully welded. Mostly all welds under the waterline need to be fully welded, not staggered.
Primary crossing full distance
The marked weld pattern can be influenced by a custom primary crossing full distance. This means that where primary construction members cross each other all welds within this area will be full. The standard primary crossing's full distance is 150mm.
The primary members can be set up by choosing the structure type: primary.
Set up your weld pattern in the model settings.
d = start-start distance between weld segments
s = single weld segment length
Possible weld types:
cn = chain intermittent
code: 80,200,cn
cc= chain intermittent, start custom
code: 80,200,cc,130
sn = staggered, no start other side
code: 80,200,sn
sf = staggered, start full other side
code: 80,200,sf
sh = staggered, start half other side
code: 80,200,sh
sc = staggered, start custom
80,200,sc,60
