How to simulate welding process with variable weld speed and Heat power ?

In real process, the user changes the velocity depending to the distance already covered or still to cover in welding process. To better reproduce the start and the end of a welding process, the velocity must be able to vary during at least these two phases as well as the heat source power. And to be more generic, this feature introduces a time dependency of the heat source velocity and its power density.

Coupling windows for postreatment visualization

When comparison between results is needed, coupling windows and synchronizing animations is a key tool.
