Sometimes the vast library of weldment profiles included with just doesn’t have the special profile I need for my project. I was mocking up a layout of a conveyor system for a shop the other day that I planned to use a purchased conveyor system for the design, and wanted to figure out the amount of conveyor rails I would need. In SOLIDWORKS, I used a layout sketch in an assembly to define the parameters of the shop by importing the floor plan into the layout sketch, inserting blocks that represented the machines and workstations, and adding sketch entities to define the path the conveyor would meander through the shop. Once the layout was defined, I then inserted the machines, work benches, and structural frames that would serve to support the conveyor system into the assembly, mating them to the blocks and sketch entities of the layout sketch. (Parametrically speaking: the layout sketch now can be modified to locate everything in the shop, including the lengths and orientation of the conveyor system.) Once the models were placed in the layout sketch, it was time to place the rails of the conveyor on the supports. Having tools to clean and uninstall these apps is very important and here is where AppDelete can help us out. Re: downloading weldment profiles Deepak Gupta Dec 16, 2012 12:27 PM ( in response to Kevin Bouwman ) I can make some macro to do the job and all one is need to either fill the value in the form or in design table based on the requirements and then have the profiles. Microsoft office professional for mac. Adding Weldment Profiles In Solidworks![]() I needed to create a custom weldment profile to represent the rails. The system I was planning to use provided me with the necessary specifications of the rails and my approach was to use weldment cut list in SOLIDWORKS to help me define the amount and lengths of the rails that I would need. The system uses 12 gauge formed steel C-channel for the rails that measure 1.5” X 7”. Here’s how I created the custom weldment profile: I sketched the initial geometry in a SOLIDWORKS part, then turned it into a sheet metal part using the 12 gauge selection from the gauge table in SOLIDWORKS. It’s important to note that when creating a custom weldment profile or modifying an existing weldment profile, careful consideration is taken for how the profile might be used.
