WELD PLANNER

WELD PLANNER

Weld Planner is innovative software that enables you to evaluate and control Welding Distortion Engineering at the early stage of Preliminary Design and Planning. It allows you to considerably reduce time-to-production and hereby save in production costs.
It is a milestone in terms of simplicity. The application provides access to welding-induced distortion simulation for people unfamiliar with Finite Elements Simulation. Training to be fully operational is completed in just one day. Weld Planner is a streamlined solution which includes fast generation or automatic finding of weld seams between parts; convenient definition of the welding sequence as a robot plan; typical industrial clamping conditions; and versatile possibilities for the visualization of computed distortion.
Weld Planner is dedicated to product design and production planning. It enables you to control welding distortion of complex welded designs in less than one day, and consequently make significant savings in experimental try-out loops and distortion repair cost.
With simulation-based distortion engineering, you can:

▪ Reduce the amount of prototyping and distortion repair work
▪ Develop a weld plan
▪ Identify distortion directions and magnitude
▪ Keep distortion within given tolerances
▪ Minimize gap fit up forces
▪ Minimize deviation from fixture forces
▪Minimize the amount of weld consumables needed

▪Minimize clamp tooling
