Part VII: Working with Specialized Functionality
FIGURE 31.14Using the Gusset feature
Fillet Bead
The Fillet Bead feature is somewhat limited in its capability to make realistic weld beads on a weld-
ment part. To start with, it is limited to fillet welds, and does not weld around commonly found
situations such as that shown in Figure 31.15. It works best where flat faces butt up against one
another cleanly, with enough space all the way around them for the weld bead. It is often sug-
gested that for drawings, you are better to leave the Fillet Bead feature off of the model and simply
to use weld symbols or caterpillars to represent the weld bead.
