weld stud issues

[dcubbedge]

Murphy lives. Figures that the last item to detail and fix has some of these on it. And it figures that a $1.00 weld stud would cause me to lose two hours of productivity already this morning.

First, the AS dev team needs to add more sizes of headed studs. We use 3/8", 1/2", 5/8" as well as the sizes included in AS2019. I couldn't use what the designer called for because it doesn't exist in AS.

So, I used 3/4" diameter x 3" long Nelson studs - the headed type. Advance does not give these a model role, so there is an internal# for the part number. I added "weld studs" to the model roles and used it for all my studs, but nothing that I do will get these things a part number! Nor do they ever appear on a bolt list. Just in the material BOM with that blasted "internal#".

I must be forgetting something...... Help!

Hi,

You get '#Internal..' as part marks if you use the 'with drawing number' process for creating part marks. These internal numbers are changed to the type of number you like when the parts get detailed. So either use a different numbering process or create your BOMs after you created the detail drawings.

Also, you can add the studs you need to the database if they do not exist.

HI

Shear studs are not bolts - they are a different object type. So they will not appear on a list designed just for bolts.

Go to Output > Document Manager > BOM Editor. Select your list. Right click the name in the tree and select Report Contents. See if Shear Studs is ticked there. If not they won't appear on that list. You probably want to add them to your bolt list and remove them from your material list.

Since most people do not apply part numbers to fasteners or shear studs the #internal number doesn't matter. Neither does the model role as the purpose of that is to help numbering and drawings. No number is needed normally. Since there is no need to distinguish between one shear stud and another for drawing purposes (all handled the same) the drawing styles can identify shear studs sufficiently without caring about a model role.
