Create a solid weld fillet between two round pipes

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a solid weld fillet between two round pipes, to be calculated in Creo Simulate, but I can't figure out how to.

 

I managed to create the outer surface with a boudary blend (green in the picture):

after that, what I need is to solidify the inner space between: green surface-vertical pipe (grey)-horizontal pipe (transparent).

 

Anyone has ideas/indications on this?

Enclosed also a video (1.mp4) better showing the situation.

 

Thanks

Tommaso

I found a way to it, for those who may be interested.

It's made by creating surfaces for the other borders of the solid fillet space, then merge all the boundary surfaces and finally solidify gets done.

 

I enclose a video showing the steps.

 

Faster ways are greatly welcome.

 

bye

If you need a separate model for the weld material, you might try:

(1) Build a single model that intersects the two pipes. This will be a single body.

(2) Add a round to the intersection of the two pipes.

(3) Do two cuts down the axes of the pipes, effectively removing the pipes.

What's left is your weld all by itself. Bear in mind I haven't tried this, it's only my idea as to how I'd approach the problem.

Hello,

For this kind of simulation you should not use the Welding Menu.

Cordially.

Hi pkloninger-2,

 

thanks for your message, could be interesting for someone. However, I was more searching for a way to draft the geometry of the weld, than the criteria/formulas for the calculations to perform.

How did you draft the welds?is it an assembly or a part?

 

bye
