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 2016.5 includes:

• Welding Simulation: Visual-Weld 12.5 and SYSWELD Solvers 2016.5
• Heat Treatment Simulation: Visual-HT 12.5 and SYSWELD Solvers 2016.5
• Assembly Simulation: Visual-Assembly 12.5 and Assembly Solvers 2016.0 (Complete manufacturing chained simulation from Stamping - Prepositioning - Holding - Joining/Welding - Performance). All functionalities of Weld-Planner 2016.0 are migrated in Visual-Assembly.

Highlights of the release:

• Visual Weld and Heat Treatment: Fast and easy-to-use welding and heat treatment simulation tool which covers all activities of the Welding & Heat Treatment engineer.
• Visual Assembly: The new generation, easy-to-use assembly simulation tool that covers complete manufacturing chain starting from the stamped part to pre-positioning to holding/clamping and finally welding/joining.
