UG Spotweld File Format

UG Spotweld File Format

The UG spotweld file has a set format and is read into PRIMER in the following way:

The first line is skipped, and after that the only lines PRIMER reads are lines containing "spot". PRIMER expects the following comma separated order:

<string>,<weld id>,<number of panels to weld>,<X coord>,<Y coord>,<Z coord>,<part strings>

The part strings should match exactly what PRIMER contains in the *PART title fields.

An example file is as follows:

WELD_TYPE,ID,NUMBER OF SHEETS WELDED,X_POS,Y_POS,Z_POS,CONNECTED PART 1,CONNECTED PART 2,CONNECTED PART 3,CONNECTED PART 4
