Graphical methods for designing welding joints in engineering drawings

Abstract

This article analyzes graphical methods for designing welding joints in engineering drawings, presents design system of a truss node's welding seams. The creation methods of automated design system of a truss node's welding seams are discovered with Unified Modeling Language. Graphical system can design stell plain truss node's welding seams, form information table of objects. There are two types (calculated and designed welding seams) and different dimensions of welding seams. Drawing's graphical objects have additional data from which exchange of data between graphical system and information table of objects is executed. Example of truss node's welding seams project with information table is presented. Creation problems of automated design system are discussed and conclusions are made.
