Purpose


Learn to modify and see the effect of the different welding attributes.


arc_feature4_weldingattributes

Load the project Arcwelding_ProgramCalculationAttributes.cendoc from the Projects folder of this tutorial library.



Steps


1

Program a welding operation

1.1

WP_PG_Create

Change to Generate process geometry and program the welding operation.

2

Modify the welding attributes

2.1

OLP_ActiveProgram

Change to Events and teach and open the Active program dashboard. Select to Technology base tab and open the Welding Setup container. Modify the tool normal rotation angle and press Enter to see the changes.

SimToClose                        

2.2

OLP_ActiveProgram

Change the work angle to -10dgr. Press Enter to see apply the change and run a simulation to see the effect.

SimToClose                        

2.3

OLP_ActiveProgram

Change the travel angle to -15dgr. Press Enter to see apply the change and run a simulation to see the effect. You may also change the angle to a positive value and run the simulation again.

SimToClose                        

2.4

OLP_ActiveProgram

Reset the work and travel angles. Then open the Welding motion container and change the speed value to 200mm/s. Run a simulation before and after to see the speed change. The speed attribute only affects the welding speed, not the approach and retract movement.

2.5

OLP_ActiveProgram

In the same container change the flyby value to 10mm. Run a simulation before and after to see the accuracy change.

SimToClose                        

2.6

OLP_ActiveProgram

Go to the Welding tab and open the Approach container. Change the approach value(s).
