Weld joint

 

Description :

Allows you to create a weld joint between a part/rigid set and a part/rigid set

General philosophy:

  1. Select the base element

  2. Select the linked element

Specific point(s):

It is possible to import the rigid subsets and the joints defined in the components. One only has to simply use the "Modify element" command on a component, to choose the option "KINEMATICS", and activate the desired imports (it is possible to import only the rigid subsets, without the joints, which could then be redefined in assembly). It should be noted that this importation is completely associative: if the components are modified, the imported joints will be automatically updated.

As the imported rigid subsets are also updated automatically, it is not possible to modify them manually to include other parts inside them. This is why, to make them rigid with another part (possibly itself belonging to another rigid subset, which will then be entirely rigid with the first subset), a new joint was added: the weld joint.
