| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Max gap allowed to end plate | Enter the tolerance value for fitting the secondary part. Use this option when the secondary part is skewed. The gap is calculated using the skew angle and the height of the secondary profile. If the gap is within the tolerance value, the secondary part is fitted in the main part coordinate system. When the defined maximum gap is greater than the actual gap in the model, the secondary part is fitted in the secondary part coordinate system. |
| Weldings | Select whether welds are created. Welds are created when you select Yes. The default is that welds are not created. |
