wnum:
local variable which defines the number (integer) of the weld being
stored.
jtype: local variable which defines the string corresponding to the joint
leg or pen:
type: "FILLET"' or "LAP" or 'BUTT.
local variable (real number) defining the main required dimension:
leg length in the case of fillet and lap joints or penetration in the
case of butt joints.
AO: global variable (real number) storing the accepted oversize in the
main required dimension (leg length or penetration).
SO: global variable (real number) defining the required stand-off.
pthick:
gap:
pos:
local variable (real number) containing the minimum plate
thickness
local variable (real number) containing the user estimated gap size
binary variable (16 bit integer) defining if the weld is positional (1)
or non-positional (0)
wpos: string defining the welding position: "flat", "horizontal", "vertical"
and "overhead"
"OFFLINE": header for the sublist containing the off-line programming data
strtpt:
appr strt:
tang_strt:
endpt:
appr_end:
tang_end:
list containing the co-ordinates of the starting point of the line
defining the weld, in CAD world co-ordinates: (xstrt ystrt ztsrt)
list containing the unit vector which defines the torch approach
direction at the starting point, in CAD world co-ordinates.
list containing the unit vector which defines the direction tangent
to the joint line at the starting point, in CAD world co-ordinates.
list containing the co-ordinates of the end point of the line defining
the weld, in CAD world co-ordinates: (xend yend zend)
list containing the unit vector which defines the torch approach
direction at the end point, in CAD world co-ordinates.
list containing the unit vector which defines the direction tangent
to the joint line at the end point, in CAD world co-ordinates.
edgeid: real number containing the AutoCAD Modelling Extension (AME)
identification for the edge defining the weld in the CAD drawing.
shandl: variable containing the handle for the edge parent solid model.
ctype:
wlength: weld length.
offset!:
local variable containing the integer number which defines the edge
curve type: line (0), ellipse (1), hyperbola (2) or parabola (3).
distance between the edge starting point and the weld starting
point, measured along the edge towards its mid-point.
