Enhancing product performance and quality of welded structures

Effective realistic modeling is key in the energy and petrochemical industry in order to verify welding technology on real size components of very large and heavy products.

Numerical simulation offers a unique and comprehensive virtual assessment of material characteristics, residual stresses and distortions in welded structures while considering different welding processes and heat treatments. This allows engineers to be as productive as possible by building physically realistic virtual structures in the development phase to ensure improvement in the quality and performance of the manufactured products.
