Simufact Welding 3 1
Simufact Welding 3 1
What is Simufact.welding?
Virtual process design
Temperature distribution in components and heat
transfer into clampings
Prediction of welding distortions and
residual stress during welding and after
releasing tools
Simulation of local material properties
(e.g. flow stresses or phase fractions) Simufact.welding is directed to welding
Graphical presentation and export
of tracking points
Simulation of process chain and
further mechanical analysis
