Welding Simulation Engineering:
Reference: SWD-W-B

Getting it Right
Level: Basic
Duration: 3 days
Audience: Engineers from product development, process design and manufacturing dealing with welding processes, from the automotive and heavy industries.
Objectives: Understand the art of modeling for welding. Set up, run and interpret results of a welding simulation using Sysweld, the leading simulation solution for heat treatment, welding and welding assembly.
Prerequisites: Required: engineering background with focus on welding engineering and a strong understanding of practical welding.
Recommended: basic knowledge of the Finite Element method.
Description: The art of modeling for welding is the major subject of this course. The focus is on simplicity and productivity. Participants learn to simulate the heat effects of welding - i.e. distortion and residual stresses - in order to predict and minimize part distortions and improve durability. Improvement of processes and designs based on a deeper understanding of engineering is another focus. This course is for practitioners.
