Creating Surface Analysis Connections Within One Part

Surface analysis connections within one part are similar to surface analysis connections. However, surface analysis connections within one part are used for projecting a welding surface onto parallel faces of the same part in the assembly. You can use a surface analysis connection within one part as support for a surface welding connection property.

This task shows you how to create a surface analysis connection within a single part in the assembly.

  1. Click the Surface Analysis Connection Within One Part icon .

    The Surface Analysis Connection Within One Part dialog box appears, and a Surface Analysis Connection Within One Part object appears in the specification tree under the Analysis Connections objects set.

  2. You can change the identifier of the surface analysis connection within one part by editing the Name field.

  3. Select the part.

  4. Select the face that will be used as the welding surface. You can select only a single face.

  5. Click OK in the Surface Analysis Connection Within One Part dialog box.
