Abaqus FEA / Add-on Tools / Extensions for Abaqus / Abaqus Welding Interface

Abaqus Welding Interface

The Abaqus Welding Interface (AWI) streamlines the generation of two-dimensional welding simulations from within Abaqus/CAE. This application provides a model-tree based approach to defining all aspects of the weld model such as weld beads, weld passes, film loads, radiation loads and more. Downloadable files are made available for the Weld Modeler below.

In order to install the Weld Modeler plug-in, click on the link above and save the file to a temporary directory. Then unzip the saved file and copy the resulting folder into the abaqus_plugins folder of your Abaqus installation.

A WMV-based (Windows Media Audio/Video file) demo of the AWI is also available for download. The demo covers the creation of a weld model containing 3 welds and 28 weld beads. The full demo lasts approximately 30 minutes.
