ESI Group launches Weld Planner software
An
ESI Group product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Feb 6, 2009
ESI Group has announced the launch of its Weld Planner software, designed to enable the evaluation and control of welding distortion engineering at early preliminary design and planning stages.
The company said Weld Planner allows the user to reduce time-to-production and save on production costs.
The application provides access to welding-induced distortion simulation for people unfamiliar with finite elements simulation.
Weld Planner is a streamlined solution that includes fast generation or automatic finding of weld seams between parts, convenient definition of the welding sequence as a robot plan, typical industrial clamping conditions, and versatile possibilities for the visualisation of computed distortion.
The application is the result of many years of collaboration with Inpro, Volkswagen, Daimler, and ThyssenKrupp Technologies.
Weld Planner fulfils market needs in terms of quick simulation response and the availability of a needed database, which are critical to successful simulation, especially in the preliminary design phase, the company said.
