Thermal expansions already lead to deformation of the components during welding. This can lead to components moving apart at the joining zone. The formation of this gap endangers process stability and leads to significant shape deviations. This gap formation is to be limited or prevented with a clamp device. Alternatively, tack welds are used to fix the components. With [...]

Induction is an efficient method for targeted heating. Components can be heated both completely and partially. Induction heating can be used for welding, straightening, preheating or for heat treatment. We have developed a modeling method to image inductive heating to a 3D model. We use the boundary element method, which means we can do without meshing the air. That [...]

With the new version of DynaWeld we have prettied up the appearance of the surface. In addition, the user can now choose the colors of the GUI according to his own wishes. In addition to English and German, DynaWeld is now also available in Spanish. At the customer´s request, we can now enter any language. Other functionalities: Simplified [...]

Heavy machinery construction places special demands on the design of welded joints. Solid components with sheet thicknesses between 100 mm and 500 mm absorb the welding heat much faster than thin-walled components. The result is high cooling rates with common welding processes such as gas-shielded metal welding or submerged arc welding. Steels that can be welded in the thin [...]

DynaWeld at the Technology Institute for Metal & Engineering GmbH (TIME) The prediction accuracy of numerical simulations can only be convincing if the models used are suitable for the physical processes and the modeling is realistic. A check can be done on the basis of welding tests. So far, one can find in the literature for verification purposes [...]

INSIGHT @ Volkswagen Wreśnia 2019 was hosted by the Automotive Circle and took place in Poznan. Highlight: Visit to the new VW plant for the Crafter in Wrenia. In addition to many interesting lectures on body construction with a focus on commercial vehicles, DynaWeld is contributing to digitalization in production planning: Distortion managemnt in the design of the [...]

Meanwhile, the numerical simulation in the fields of heat treatment and welding is ready for industrial application and offers a future-oriented and innovative working area for engineers in research and practice. Intensive research has been carried out in these areas over the last few years to numerically depict the behavior of materials and components during machining The increasing interest [...]

DynaWeld presented its software solutions again this year at the Day of Welding Practice in Rostock. There was also the 25th anniversary of the organizer, the SLV Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Congratulations on this!

DynaWeld spent a week with John Goldak and his team in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. In addition to intensive expert talks, discussions were held on how welding simulation and heat treatment simulation can be used even more efficiently in the future and how small and medium-sized enterprises can also benefit from it. VrSuite offers a variety of functionalities developed by [...]
