Horse saddle distortion modelling in Visual Weld

Welding of structures involves complex interactions between thermal, metallurgical and mechanical phenomena leading to residual stresses and distortions, which play a major role during subsequent service of these structures. Controlling material characteristics, residual stress and keep distortion within tolerances via the computer can significantly enhance the performance, the quality of the product and the structure’s service life

Restart Sysweld thermo-metallurgy and mechanical calculation in batch mode

The aim of this article consists to show sysweld/systus users how to perform a restart computation when a calculation run in batch mode is stopped in middle for some reasons or not.

Overview of CSM Welding Advisor in Visual Environment 18.0.2

This tip is to give an overview of new CSM welding advisor in Visual Environment 18.0.2. This new advisor comes in replacement of Visual Welding advisor and uses Assembly solver to perform transient welding simulation.

Friction Stir Welding modelling with an Axi-symmetric tool

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is an innovative technology, which allows a solid junction of heterogeneous alloys, using a wear-resistant rotary tool that follows the welding seam. ESI Welding solution allows todays to predict temperature generated by FSW process. The proposed methodology is based on local approach that cannot give global distortion of the welded components. The aim of this article is to show how user can setup it own FSW process and run the computation using Visual Weld application
