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.

THE BENEFITS

Keep welding distortions within allowable tolerances
Control high residual stresses in the welding structures for quality assessment
Avoid component distortion and high material hardness during or after heat treatment
Obtain correct material strength, toughness, and hardness
Improve crash and fatigue performance of the product
Optimization and testing without real mock-ups
