iLogic weld parameters Weld Length

[wout_willemsen]

I am currently working on a project where I need to retrieve the weld length using iLogic in Inventor, but I've encountered some challenges in achieving this.

I would like to inquire if there's a direct way to import weld length data from Inventor or if there are specific methods within iLogic that allow for the retrieval of this information.

Alternatively, I'm exploring the possibility of programming an automated export where the bead weld report is generated. This could potentially serve as a workaround for obtaining the weld length via iLogic.

Any insights, advice, or examples regarding the above concerns would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi @wout_willemsen.  Fortunately, there is a property for that (WeldBead.BeadLength), but getting to the point where you can use that property is another story.  If the assembly is a weldment type assembly, then its ComponentDefinition will be a WeldmentComponentDefinition.  So, create a variable ahead of time that is declared as a WeldmentComponentDefinition, then set its value from AssemblyDocument.ComponentDefinition.  Within the WeldmentComponentDefinition are multiple properties for 'weld' related stuff.  Step down through its Welds property, then to its WeldBeads property, then iterate that collection.
