Seam weld simulation in Ansys Mechanical

Visit us at www.ozeninc.com
This video demonstrate how we setup a seam weld simulation. Including how to easily setup a seam weld according to the Volvo/Chalmers method and weld fatigue calculations.

Hi, thank you for the video, how ansys handles the mechanical property in the HAZ area? I am not able to find the information...

[@OzenEngineeringSimulation]

The goal for this simulation is to weld fatigue life. As such we use the Ncode treatment of the HAZ area.

Is this working also for solids?

[@OzenEngineeringSimulation]

Solid welds setup is different. However Ansys Ncode does support both shell and solid seam welds.

What version u used? 2022?

[@OzenEngineeringSimulation]

2023 R1

What about welding process? like current, speed, heat generated

[@OzenEngineeringSimulation]

Detailed welding process is a different type of simulation and only suitable for very small regions. We have a wide range of methodologies for different situations.
