| This is the distance of the "gap point" (15) from the line passing through the two (inner) weld root points. This distance is supposedly measured along the line half-way between the upper and lower plate, which is the line traced out by the "gap point" if it is moved back and forth in the model. However, this is not correct for most of the configurations so it is recommended this measurement only be used with square-flat plates. |
