ESI simulation suite suits complex weld designs

ESI Group has released its Welding Simulation Suite version 2009, which includes Weld Planner and Pam-Assembly.

Designed for engineers who manage the welding assembly of large and complex welded designs, the main objective of the simulation suite is to reduce time and cost to arrive at the bill of material and at a feasible process design.

In the early design and process evaluation phase, Weld Planner is used to evaluate numbers and positions of welds, clamping conditions and design.

Pam-Assembly is then used to validate the preliminary decisions taken.

The complete physics of material is computed in local models, feeding the global model that is used to compute the overall distortion.

Version 2009 of ESI's Welding Simulation Suite is embedded in a complete CAE environment, including dedicated meshing and post-processing tools.

ESI offers one-day training and includes a step-by-step 'getting started' session.
