Benefits:
- Time-Saving: Automates the tedious process of weld selection and numbering.
- Accuracy: Eliminates errors in weld numbering and sequencing, ensuring precise documentation.
- Consistency: Ensures compliance with project and industry standards.
- Ease of Communication: Provides a clear, structured Excel report for fabricators, welders, and inspectors.
The WeldMap Tool is an indispensable solution for managing welding operations in complex projects, ensuring streamlined workflows and high-quality deliverables.
The WeldMap Tool is a powerful plugin designed to automate the creation and documentation of welding maps in Tekla Structures. This tool identifies all welds in a model, numbers them systematically, and generates a detailed Excel report, including the specific welding sequence, ensuring compliance with project requirements and standards.
Key Features:
- Automatic Weld Detection:
Efficiently scans the entire model to identify all welds, regardless of type or location, saving significant time in manual selection. - Systematic Weld Numbering:
Assigns unique, sequential numbers to each weld based on user-defined criteria or standard practices. - Excel Report Generation:
Creates a comprehensive Excel report containing:- Weld numbers.
- Weld type and size.
- Material details.
- Weld length.
- Welding sequence order.
- Additional custom fields, if needed.
- Welding Order Definition:
Allows users to define and customize the welding sequence to ensure proper structural integrity and minimize deformation risks. - Customizable Output:
Tailor the Excel report format to include additional details, such as welder information, welding procedures, or inspection notes. - User-Friendly Interface:
Intuitive input options for filtering welds based on specific criteria (e.g., location, size, or type) and easy preview of the generated weld map.
