A groove weld in Inventor requires which selections?
Answer: Two face sets to be joined
Groove welds fill the space between Face Set 1 and Face Set 2.
Which preparation feature is commonly used to bevel plate edges before applying a groove weld?
Answer: Chamfer
Chamfer preparations create beveled edges that form the groove for the weld.
In the Convert to Weldment dialog, what is the default BOM structure for the weldment?
Answer: Inseparable
Weldments default to Inseparable because welded parts cannot be disassembled without damage.
Which tool generates a report of weld bead mass, volume, and length?
Answer: Bead Report
Bead Report exports weld bead data such as mass, volume, and length to a spreadsheet.
Which setting most directly affects the mass contributed by 3D weld beads?
Answer: The weld bead material
Bead volume multiplied by the bead material density determines the weld's mass contribution.
A fillet weld leg size can alternatively be defined by which dimension?
Answer: Throat thickness
Fillet weld size can be specified by leg lengths or by throat thickness.
What happens to the parts in the original component files when you add a weldment preparation?
Answer: They are unchanged; the preparation exists only in the weldment
Weldment preparations and machining are assembly-level features and do not alter the source part files.
