Welded Assemblies modeling the welds.

What is the best way to model welds in pre-prossessing.  I use alot of different welds (fillet, groove and etc) and need to analyze the start and stops of welds.  I have used some work-arounds by gapping the parts and drawing in extrusions.  This takes a long time to get ready to mesh.  Any tips on a more productive way?
