Welding distortion prediction software useful for preliminary design and planning

ESI Group has released Weld Planner software, which enables the evaluation and control of welding distortion engineering at the early stage of preliminary design and planning.

The application provides access to welding-induced distortion simulation for people unfamiliar with finite elements simulation. User training is completed in one day. The software includes fast generation or automatic location of weld seams between parts, definition of the welding sequence as a robot plan, typical industrial clamping conditions, and versatile possibilities for the visualization of computed distortion.
