Display mesh nodes in Visual Viewer based on internal number ID

Today it is not possible to display internal number of node within visual viewer. The only way is to display internal number within Sysweld/systus solver, check for the corresponding user defined one and come back in visual viewer to display the user define one. Meanwhile in the .Log file only internal nodes are listed. ITERATION 0 MAX. RESIDUE 0.414E-01 NODE (INT) 14817 COMPONENT 1

Solid elements morphing by twist in Visual Mesh

In the case of 3D meshes, the term morph can be interpreted as the change of appearance of a graphical object. The morphing process is then defined as the construction of an animated sequence corresponding to the gradual transition between two different objects, so-called source (initial) and target (final) models. The objective of a morphing method is to compute a transformation ensuring a visually pleasant transition between the two, source and target shapes

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.

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.

Visual-Environment Highlight of Visual-CFD: Multiphase Flow

In fluid mechanics, multiphase flow is the simultaneous flow of materials with two or more thermodynamic phases. These phases may consist of one chemical component (e.g. flow of water and water vapour), or several different chemical components (e.g. flow of oil and water). Based in user’s intertest and type of problems, multiphase problems can be solved as VOF or euler-euler flow. In Visual-CFD, both approaches are supported for two or more than two phases, with or without heat. The solvers used for multiphase simulations involve the famous MULES method for capturing interfaces between the fluids.
