Welding simulation with FAST3D method in Visual Weld

A new method is described, which allows to reduce computation time significantly. It is used for transient simulations with moving heat source, mainly for long welds. Its advantage is that it does not require any additional manipulations with the model.

Modelling pretension of Bolts

To simulate bolt pretension, a new medium called PRELOAD has been developed. With this medium, the strain generating the pretension is automatically computed and applied on the model.

3D Combine

As existing 2D Combine in Visual-Mesh, 3D Combine has been introduced to undone refinements.

Geometrical drawbeads with Design Table

CATIA V5 offers powerful functionality to modify existing geometry “from outside” via DESIGN TABLE. PAM DIEMAKER for CATIA V5 also supports this procedure with some prerequisites.
