29 Oct NAMTEC Adopts Weld Planner
The economic incentive for using welding simulation at an early stage of the design process is to evaluate design and process choices before engineering teams freeze their designs for production. As a direct result, this reduces development costs and risk of unwanted rework or scrapped assemblies due to unacceptable dimensional quality issues. The National Metals Technology Centre (NAMTEC) employs a wide range of simulation software to which ESI’s Weld Planner has been added. This widens the range of advanced engineering services the Centre is able to offer to industrials. Weld Planner is used in conjunction with Visual-Mesh to generate the meshes for Weld Planner finite element models, and Visual- Viewer for post-processing of the results.
