3. When the tools appear in the Weld panel of the Weld tab, click the
Fillet tool.
4. When the Fillet Weld dialog opens, set the first fillet size to 6 and the
second to 4.
5. Change the contour from Flat to Convex, and set the offset to 1.
6. Set the top Intermittency value to 9 and the one below it to 10.
7. Click the first bead selection on the side of the block and the second
on the top face of the tube, as shown in Figure 12.10.
8. Click OK to place the fillet welds.

Now you've added the final fillets to this weldment, and what was an assembly
of parts can be produced as a single deliverable.
Adding Machined Features to the Weldment
Because of the distortion from welding components together and the need for
some features to pass through several of the welded components, sometimes it
is best to just machine features after components are welded together.
1. Make certain that the 2013 Essentials project file is active, and then
open c12-07.iam from the Assemblies\Chapter​12 folder.
2. Access the machining tools by clicking the Machining icon on the
Process panel of the Weld tab or the marking menu.
There is already a sketch in the assembly; it was added in the
machining process and appears in the Browser that way.
3. Click the Extrude tool from the Preparation And Machining panel.
4. Use the Extents drop-down in the Extrude dialog to set its value to To.
5. Click the interior surface of the red part for the termination. The pre-
view will appear like Figure 12.11.
6. Click OK to remove all material between the sketch plane and the
selected face.
