Simufact Welding

Product catalog summary
Overview: Simufact Welding is a simulation software designed to optimize welding processes by predicting distortions and residual stresses. It helps users determine strategies to minimize these issues and provides insights into the properties of weld seams, including strength and potential defects.
Key Features:
  • Process Optimization: Simufact Welding allows for the identification of optimal process parameters, clamping devices, and welding sequences. It predicts the final contour of assemblies to achieve minimal tolerances in serial production.
  • Simulation Capabilities: The software can simulate various welding processes, including resistance spot welding and direct energy deposition, as well as stress relief heat treatment and cooling processes.
  • Interactive Process Control: Utilizes Gantt diagrams as an interactive process control center to optimize welding sequences and process times.
  • User-Friendly Interface: The software is designed for ease of use, with intuitive pre-processing, simulation setup, and post-processing capabilities.
  • Modular Architecture: Offers specific modules for different welding processes, allowing users to simulate single steps or entire process chains.
Benefits:
  • Reduces the need for expensive physical tryouts by allowing virtual testing and evaluation of different variables.
  • Enhances understanding of welding processes, leading to improved product quality and shorter development cycles.
  • Facilitates the transfer of simulation results to subsequent processes, increasing accuracy and enabling integration with third-party products.
Conclusion: Simufact Welding, part of Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division, provides a comprehensive solution for optimizing welding processes through advanced simulation capabilities, user-friendly design, and modular functionality.

Identify the optimal process parameters Avoid welding distortions and stresses Find answers to process stability issues Simufact Welding predicts distortions and residual stresses by virtually try-outs and helps the user to determine appropriate strategies to minimise them. It is the only simulation software which automatically considers the complex contact situation between the components, which in turn allows conclusions about the properties of the weld seam, in particular its strength, to be drawn. Simufact Welding achieves this by calculating the microstructural properties within the heat-affected...

More efficient modelling through improved user-friendliness Simufact Welding is a simulation tool for hands-on professionals working with welding technology. The software is aligned to the practical needs of our users. Simufact Welding is practice-oriented, fast and easy to learn. The user can focus on the engineering-related details of the welding process instead of dealing with the software. The pre-processing, such as importing CAD geometries, meshing and setting up the simulation model, the calculation as well as the post-processing, such as the evaluation of the results can all be performed...

The modular concept of the Simufact Welding product line offers specific modules which enable you to simulate a wide range of welding processes. Transfer of simulation results to subsequent processes The process specific application modules allow you to simulate single production steps. If you combine the modules across applications and products, it enables you to connect various manufacturing steps two entire process chains and to simulate these as a whole. The results of previous manufacturing processes are passed to subsequent processes leading to an increased accuracy in the simulation results....

Reach your aim more quickly with process specific functions Simufact Welding has a modular architecture. The modular concept helps you choose the relevant functions that most exactly fit to your manufacturing processes. Simufact Welding consciously sets apart from competitor’s products by offering deeper process specified functions, rather than following the approach of having ‘general-purpose-tools’ that cover all functions. The dedicated application modules provide you process specific functionalities for all areas of welding processes. The modules allow for the simulation of single manufacturing...
