Simufact released a welding simulation software, Simufact.welding. Originally based on requirements developed by a task force in the automotive sector, in 2006 a small team of Simufact welding experts began working towards the welding simulation software Simufact.welding. After the primary users were university research departments, the software has now reached a level of maturity, which allows the productive application into the challenging industrial practice.
The new version of Simufact.welding 4 became available in mid June. The software convinces with a user-friendly overall concept, high calculation precision and – particularly important for the production industry – substantially shortened calculation times for the simulation. Thus, Simufact is able to speed up the simulation of welding processes by a factor of 2 to 5 through software advancements. The focus of the simulation is still on welding specific problems such as the prediction of distortions and internal stresses, the development of the optimal clamping fixture for the welding process and the determination of the best welding sequence.
At the end of May, the German users of Simufact.welding came together for the first user meeting. Among the customers are automotive companies and their suppliers, next to researching universities.
