Hello and good day,
I have been toying with the welding aspect today and cannot figure our how to glue two parts together the way I want.
What I have is two pcs of 1.5" SQ tube (from content center) one with the face butted up against the side of the other. The weld will show on the top and bottom (straight sections) but will not fill the edges where the radius's from the tubing is (are?). Wonder how I can accomplish getting a weld all the way around.
I am sure it is simple enough... and I appreciate any help, as always! 🙂
tks!

I often struggle with weld placement in Inventor (especially with this scenario). The only way I have come close, is what you see attached.
This is done by doing a Groove Weld. If this works for you, let me know and I will post the steps.

Hi GSE & Blair,
If this is the best (or only) way, for sure it will work. If you could outline the step that would be great.
Also, I have not fiddled with weld muhc before and my weld you can see looks terrible. How do I get it ripply like yours?
tks!
1. Select Goove Weld.
2. Select the end face of the Horizontal HSS tube.
3. Select Face Set 2 and then pick the Radius of the Vertical Tube.
4. Make sure to select 'Radial Fill'.
5. Select Apply.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for other Radius of Vertical Tube.
GSE_Dan_A has it right, but note that you can then do a fillet weld as you have previously done and include the faces of the groove welds to get a full perimeter fillet weld. (It may look a little odd, but it can be done.)
