The spotweld feinput translator reads weld information from an ASCII file, such as a Master Weld File.
Engineering Solutions supports multiple formats for master weld files through weld templates. The weld template is specific for a given format. The spotweld translator registers the template through a spotweld configuration file. The currently supported master weld file format templates and the configuration file can be found in the spotweld_format directory. In order to use a different format you must create a weld template and add its name and path to the configuration file. Existing weld templates can be copied and modified to support the new format.
The outline of a generic master weld file is provided below:
| • | Point ID |
| • | Layer information (the number of thickness it connects 2T/3T/4T. Max layers supported 4T) |
| • | Spotweld location (X, Y, Z) |
| • | Connector part IDs (Engineering Solutions Component/Part IDs) |
| • | The delimiter between fields can be ":", ",", " ". |
| • | ASCII files can have comments beginning with the characters # or $, or there can be blank lines in between. |
The spotweld translator reads information from the master weld file and stores it in the database. At each of the weld locations, an HM_POINT is created.
The example below helps create a weld template for specific formats.
#Weld format 1.
#Point Id:: T:: X:: Y:: Z:: PID1:: PID2:: PID3::
1:: 2:: 2.000:: 3.000:: 4.000: : 12:: 14:: 20::
