Weld Connections
Each weld on the weld table contains an associated connection key that specifies its connection. You can use Connection A for welds to the pipe and Connection B for welds to the supporting steel.
You can add multiple welds to a single connection at different locations.
Weld Locations
Each connection has four predefined locations, 2, 4, 6, and 8, similar to cardinal points on a steel cross-section. The locations control the weld location in the Weld plane. You can also use the three offset rules to offset the weld from the predefined location.
