How can show the welded joints in a steel frame structural 3D model drawing without any anotation. Our office is using the basic Microstation software only without any add on.
If you're trying to show the physical weld, then short of manuallt modelling it yourself, you could look at using something like ProSteel\ProStructures. Big product to get to grips with, but it is designed more around shop detailing models.

Well...
...do you mean something "realistic" like this one?
If yes (I strongly advice you NOT to do it - too much detail for nothing. As others suggested in your other similar posts use some annotation instead of the actual modeling) it's doable with plain Microstation but requires a rather strong knowledge related with nurbs modeling (I'm talking about the welding itself, not the bike swingarm shown).
Mail me off line for a very long talking.

PS: and to put the whole "welding modeling" into some realistic perspective:
This sort of "detail" it's rather required (for having an accurate idea about the aesthetics) for a bike and/or an bespoke industrial product that costs an arm and a leg (like a Panigale R or an Ariel Atom TR) but it's totally out of real-life meaning for plain industrial purposes (unless you communicate solely with 3d content the likes of 3D PDF).
Imagine this with (node) weldings "accurately" modeled .... not even a Cray could handle the 3d stuff...

.....so....that's why we see bolted connections? ;-)

Indeed that's the real reason, he he.
Moral: (a) Cancel your Cray order (b) buy a Black & Decker
