Using the Welding Simulation Solution, you can predict the heat effects of welding processes, allowing cost-effective distortion engineering, and weld quality and residual stress control.
Weld Quality and Residual Stress Engineering - Process and Product Safety
With simulation-based weld quality and residual stress engineering, you can:
Check if the weld will perform as well as the parent material and will not affect the ability of the parent material to perform as stated in its material specification
Choose the best possible material
Determine the best possible micro-structure after welding
Evaluate material exposure
Control residual stresses
Minimize tensile stresses to avoid buckling
Distortion Engineering - Product and Process Development
With simulation-based distortion engineering, you can:
Reduce the amount of prototyping and distortion repair work
Develop a weld plan
Identify distortion directions and magnitude
Keep distortion within given tolerances
Minimize gap fit up forces
Minimize deviation from fixture forces
Minimize the amount of weld consumables needed
Minimize clamp tooling
