Description

Product Overview:

Understanding the complexities of welding and additive manufacturing (AM) is essential for engineers working on large-scale metallic components. This tutorial introduces the fundamentals of welding-induced thermal effects and residual stresses, and explores a practical simulation method that closely resembles Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM).

Using Abaqus/CAE and a custom Dflux subroutine, you’ll model a moving heat source with Gaussian distribution and simulate material deposition using the element birth technique. The final result is a semi-circular component—created layer by layer—mimicking a real AM process. This video-based tutorial offers a clear, fast-paced learning experience and all the necessary files to get started immediately.
