SYSWELD
2018.0
16 Jul 2018
From Weld Quality to Body Manufacturing & Distortion Engineering, ESI SYSWELD offers a unique computer-aided assessment of material characteristics, residual stresses and distortions by taking into account all the multi-physics that is involved in Welding, Assembly and Heat Treatment manufacturing processes:
- for process feasibility and material characteristic control
- for process security and product performance improvement
- for car body manufacturing and distortion control
ESI SYSWELD 2018.0 includes:
- Welding Simulation: Visual-Weld 14.0 and SYSWELD Solvers 2018.0
- Heat Treatment Simulation: Visual-HT 14.0 and SYSWELD Solvers 2018.0
- Assembly Simulation: Visual-Assembly 14.0 and Virtual Assembly Solver (CSM) 2018.0, for distortion control in:
- Body manufacturing for auto industry
- Thick plate and large welded assemblies for shipbuilding
- Welding Sequence Optimization with help of PAM-OPT 2018.0
* Weld Planner is migrated within Visual Assembly and will not be released anymore.
Highlights of the release:
Visual Weld and HT:
Fast, intuitive and easy-to-use welding and heat treatment simulation tool which covers all activities of the welding & heat treatment engineer. Some key new functionalities are:
- Sub-assembly management (mapping on deformed geometry, mapping with initialization of physical properties, mapping with geometrical transformation…)
- Clamping condition based on the current deformed geometry (not the initial one)
- Update in contact parameters to improve convergence performance
- Heat treatment – machining chaining solution for part distortion
Visual Assembly:
New generation, easy-to-use assembly simulation for distortion control which:
- Covers complete car body manufacturing chain starting from the stamped part to pre-positioning to holding/clamping and finally welding/joining. Inheriting details of the “as manufactured” components from the press shop, visual assembly simulates step by step the entire assembly and welding process chain in the body shop.
- Covers large welded assemblies with thick plates and multi-pass welds, which are common in the shipbuilding industry. Aimed at shop floor production, the software can deliver the optimization of a weld sequence plan thanks to a streamlined and intuitive interface, offering dedicated automatic meshing functionalities and easy model set-up.
