Abaqus Technology Brief

Summary

Background

Multi-pass Pipe Welding Analysis

using the Abaqus Welding Interface

Key Abaqus Features and Benefits

The Abaqus Welding Interface extends the capa-bilities of Abaqus/CAE for efficient multi-pass welding simulation

Axisymmetric and three-dimensional weld deposition simulation

Sequentially coupled thermal-stress analysis computes residual stresses and deformations after each weld pass

Automated definition of steps, loads, and boundary conditions for highly efficient model building

SIMULIA capabilities in fracture, damage, fa-tigue, and optimization that provide a broad analysis framework for comprehensive workflow solutions
