The file attached contains a main pipe with 4 flanges mated onto the pipe.I have not used the Weldment feature before so would please like some guideance and help.What steps would i use to Weld the 2 small upright pipes on top of the main pipe and Weld the 4 flanges onto the 4 small curved pipes underneath the main pipe?

Any help appreciated.....IJC

First, you need to either convert this existing model to a Weldment, or start a new model as a weldment. Then enter the Weld Module. The rest is straight forward, or read the "Help"

Blair...thanks for the reply....will take your advice and follow.

Blair is also possible to use Weld where i attached the 4 flanges onto the curved pipes under the main pipe?

Best Regards

Thank you

I was able to weld the 2 end pipes but was not able to weld the middle pipe.I used the same technique as the 2 end pipes but could not get it to work.I also tried some other welds but again would not work...What technique is required to weld the middle pipe onto the bottom pipe?

Thanks....IJC

Your IAM file is useless without the required IPTfiles

[#9]

The files you sent only contain a single part "Part1" and it's a flat plate with a slot and a couple of other holes.
