Product Overview:

This video presents a comprehensive, step-by-step tutorial on simulating the welding process with the DFLUX subroutine to analyze non-uniform heat distribution. For this example, we designed a geometric model and defined temperature-dependent material properties. We utilized steel as the base material, incorporating characteristics such as elasticity, plasticity, thermal conductivity, expansion, and specific heat that vary with temperature. The applied heat source generates significant thermal stresses within the plate.

Key Topics:

• In this tutorial, you will craft an arc welding model utilizing the DFLUX subroutine in Abaqus.
• You will begin by setting up the geometry for steel parts and defining welding sections.
• Then, you will implement user-defined material properties to ensure accurate thermal behavior in your simulations.
• Finally, you will configure simulation steps to analyze heat flux and structural responses during the welding process.
