Abstract: A computer-implemented solid modeling system that determines whether a gap exists between components based on internal loops of the components, and then generates a fillet or groove weld bead that fills the gap between the components. The gap is a component hole gap between components where one or more internal loops of a first component fully or partially encircles a second component, and the valid internal loops identify whether the second component passes through the first component through the component hole gap.

Abstract: A computing environment is provided with the ability to at least contribute to the persistent naming of the divided sub-paths, including their edges and vertices, of a continuous path of an intermittent fillet weld bead, including the determination of an invariant weld bead generation direction.

Abstract: A computing environment is provided with the ability to contribute to generate a representation for a fillet weld bead to be used to fillet weld a number components of an article of manufacture together at one or more faces of the components in the manufacturing of the article outside the computing environment, including the ability to examine facial characteristics of the faces, select a generation technique based at least in part on the result of the examination, and apply the selected generation technique followed by end trimming to generate a data representation of the fillet weld bead.

Abstract: A computing environment is provided with the ability to at least contribute to generate a representation for a weld bead to be used to weld a number of components of an article of manufacture together at one. or more edges of the components in the manufacturing of the article outside the computing environment, including the ability to generate an initial set of one or more data representations of an initial set of one or more wire bodies based on one or more data representations of the one or more edges respectively to synthesize one or more corresponding wire bodies for the one or more edges, and the ability to generate a final data representation of a final wire body based on the initial set of one or more data representations of the initial set of one or more wire bodies of the one or more edges.
