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"

Yes, it's done the same way.

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

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.

You will probably have to do a Split-Face on the riser pipe. This will give a funny result at the points on the riser pipe.

 

Your Split-Face line will start at the end-point of the cope of the Riser pipe.

Hi,

Did you ever figure this out?

I am dealing with exactly the same problem, putting weldments on two pipes of same diameter.  I tried to use Split-Face but couln't get this to work. Help would be very much appreciated.
