| ESI releases new simulation technology  ESI Group releases new simulation technology for welding assembly. A wide range of users can use it because this software is based on an intuitive workflow and does not require an advanced knowledge of Finite Element Analysis. Pam-Assembly offers a simple five-step methodology. The welding process is simulated on a 'local' model, where comprehensive welding physics are manipulated to evaluate internal forces generated by the welding joint, which are stored in a local model database. This simplifies welding physics simulation.The first step in modeling a welding assembly is to access the local model database to choose the weld joint configuration. The next step focuses on the generation of the 'global' model, based on the different components to be assembled. After defining the welding sequence and clamping conditions, the distortion due to the welding-assembly process is computed. The last step consists of a fast and accurate analysis, allowing the optimization of the welding distortion due to the fabrication process. Pam-Assembly is a part of the Welding Simulation Solution provided by ESI Group. The user environment is available on Windows platforms and the computation can be run on major Windows, Linux, and Unix platforms. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
