WHY CAST-DESIGNER WELD?
Evaluate residual distortions
Weld distortion is the most frequent problem in welding applications and many techniques have been developed over time to mitigate distortion or in some case achieve zero distortion. Simple techniques like tack welding and fixturing can now be optimized using welding models that reliably predict distortion. Furthermore, simulation and modeling enables the designer to optimize complex methods like pre-offset, side heating, trail cooling, or more advanced techniques including adaptive clamping and process control.
Minimize residual stresses
Residual stress affects the service life and condition of weldment during course of service if it doesn’t introduce immediate problems during the manufacturing process. Weld modeling is the most cost effective method to generate a 3D map of all stress components during and after welding as well as interaction with operation loading condition for fatigue and creep analysis. This leads to optimal design for enhancing service life and can avoid further cost of rejected parts from service.
Control the HAZ
It is crucial to master the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). This sensitive zone is usually quite narrow to minimize stresses and deformations.
Predict the real weld bead
Cast-Designer WELD simulates the welding with addition of material, the shape of the weld bead becomes a true result of the simulation.
Study geometry & parameters
Cast-Designer WELD helps to optimize part geometry and process parameters during the early stages of a new design cycle avoiding expensive engineering changes.
Optimize the welding sequence
Cast-Designer WELD allows user-defined weld sequencing and control of the weld manufacturing parameters such as energy input, weld speed, weld material and many others.
