Weld

Back to SDS/2 Parametric Scripts

## Weld.py

## Version 1.02 (11/19/06) - Add conditional if tail == "None":

## tail = ""

## Version 1.03 (5/8/07) - Add option for all around weld, defaults to 'No'

## Version 1.04 (11/16/07) - Add weld code for SDS/2 7.1xx

## Version 1.05 (11/18/07) - Modify variable names for consistency

## Version 1.06 (11/19/07) - Modify weld type code in 7.0 version

## Version 1.07 (11/20/07) - Modify code for tail text

"""

Function to add weld.

The last four arguments are optional. Values assigned are defaults.

Additional optional arguments can be added, but they must be placed

at the end of the argument list for compatibility with existing code.

'weld_size' can be a string ("3/16" for example) or a float (0.1875).

Valid weld types:

Fillet

Square groove

Bevel groove

V groove

J groove

U groove

Flare bevel groove

Flare V groove

Plug

Backing weld
