2.16.5 The “Create weld to part” tool in Tekla Structures
The “Create weld to part” tool is a particular instrument,
which is applied to a single part. It is mostly used for welding on round
pipes defined by SPD profile type.
A standard weld tool is not applicable for welding on a single part.
In general, welding to part is required only for preparing the correct

To examine this instrument, let’s create a beam of 500 mm length
defined by the ”SPD200*10” profile, which is used only in case
it is required reflecting pipes and referent welds.

The current weld type is not available on the “Position” parameter
as it is not uniting two definite parts. The other parameters of the “Weld
properties” menu are similar to the standard weld type.
