Predicting welding residual distortion is no easy task. It requires a solid expertise in finite element analysis (FEA), precise characterization of nonlinear material behavior, appropriate mesh refinement, and well-chosen nonlinear solution parameters within a coupled thermal–structural simulation.
To help address this challenge, engineers can use the Weld Process Addon developed in Ansys Mechanical™ structural finite element analysis software, which enables users to swiftly set up a welding analysis with a reduced number of inputs. The Welding Process Addon offers a streamlined, guided workflow that enables any Ansys Mechanical software user to perform welding process simulations. By reducing the number of required inputs and automating key setup steps, the app facilitates the process regardless of the engineer’s simulation skill level.
