Tube-Chamfer
Tube-Chamfer connects a round tube to a plate or to a round tube. If the main part is tube, the secondary tube needs to be of equal diameter. The tubes are chamfered.

Description |
|---|---|
|
Tube-to-tube connection. |
|
Tube-to-plate connection. |
Limitations
No support for polybeams or contour plates.
No support for non-plate profiles on the main part (for example, H/I beam or square tube)
Selection order
Select the main part (round tube or plate).
Select the secondary part (round tube of equal diameter).
The connection is created automatically when the secondary part is selected.

Chamfer Fits the secondary tube to a plate, or the main and secondary tubes along the median angle plane. |

Offshore Chamfer Creates back bevel during the tube NC file creation. No actual back bevel is created in the model. |
Note:
Offshore Chamfer information is used only in NC data, and no actual back bevels are created in the model.
Tube NC Parameters
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
Bevel angle |
The weld preparation angle created during NC processing of the tube. For a tube-to-tube chamfer this option creates a bevel to both tubes, adding up to the defined angle. |
Root opening above |
The gap between the parts. The gap is created in the model. |
Shrinkage |
The shrinkage considered during NC processing of the tube. The shrinkage value has no effect on the model. |
Maximum torch angle |
Maximum torch angle. The default is 70.0. |
Minimum torch angle |
Minimum torch angle. The default is -70.0. |
Note:
Bevel angle information is used only in NC data, and no actual weld preparations are created in the model.
