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

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.
