Smart Assembly

The Smart Assembly is a key product to simulate the metal welding and assembly process in the Cast-Designer Weld software package. It is using a fast thermo-mechanical couple simulation method for the assembly distortion prediction. The advantage of Smart Assembly is it can handle big and complex model and easy to use, also the simulation result was very robust.

  • Use Lagrange FEM method, with long time validation.
  • Detail welding parameters and speak industrial language
  • Easy to use and short learning curve
  • Study welding sequence
  • Flexible boundary condition
  • Fast modeling and fast simulation

Smart Assembly's Simulation Approach

Weld Line & Layout Design

  • Special tools was designed for the weld line and bead layout.
    • Free draft style, mouse click operation
    • Smart snap CAD edge and continue the weld line automatically
    • Input design plan in CSV file format (external design plan)
    • Input design plan in DXF file from AutoCAD or other CAD system
  • Flexible manage tools for the designed weld bead
  • Save design to template file
  • Multi-design plans comparison
  • Generate CAD wire from design bead
