(DEFINE_) HEX_SPOTWELD_ASSEMBLY

These can be edited through their own specific editing panel (see below).

This figure shows the main menu for the editing of hex spotweld assembly definitions.

All functions have their standard meanings as given in Standard Keyword Top Level Menu Options

CREATE Making a new hex spotweld assembly definition

This shows the create/edit panel for hex spotweld assemblies. The second row of the card will change depending on the value chosen for 'N'. 'N' can be set to 4, 8 or 16 from a drop down list for that button.

The Select SOLIDs button can be used to select multiple solids, which will then be added to the list in ascending order.

COPY Copy existing hex spotweld assembly(s) to make a new hex spotweld assembly(s)

The selected hex spotweld assemblies are copied. (hex spotweld assemblies do not "own" anything, so the concept of recursive copying does not apply.)

MODIFY Modifying the attributes of an existing hex spotweld assembly

MODIFY functions in the same way as CREATE , except that an initial definition will be present. Any modifications made to the hex spotweld assembly definition will not be made permanent until the UPDATE button is pressed. At this point the local copy which has been updated is used to overwrite the version in the model.

DELETE Delete existing hex spotweld assembly definitions

The selected hex spotweld assemblies are deleted.

Hex spotweld assemblies do not "own" anything, so the concept of recursive deletion does not apply, however a hex spotweld assembly that is referred to (ie "owned") by some higher order item will not be deletable unless that item is deleted too, or its reference to the hex spotweld assembly removed.
