- Abstract
Existing software programs allowing selection of optimal technological parameters of arc welding of structural steels are considered. Analysis of advantages and drawbacks of the considered software programs in terms of their application by a welding technologist for development of a welding technological process in production was carried out. As to their functional capabilities, the considered software programs belong to different groups of software products. Software «Vertical» with module «System for Calculation of Welding Parameters» belongs to the CAD group. Software programs «Magsim», «System for Computer Analysis of Weldability of Steels», «VirtualARC», «Welding Simulation Suite» and «Simufact Welding» can be regarded as specialised engineering analysis systems for simulation of technological processes. This group of the software products includes commercial general-application software programs for finite element analysis, such as «Abagus», «Ansys», «LS-Dyna», «Catia» etc., which are close to the special systems in their functional capabilities of simulation of the welding and heat treatment technological processes. Purposes of further upgrading of the computer systems developed by the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute for selection of consumables for arc welding of structural steels were formulated on the base of analysis of advantages and drawbacks of the best known software products in the field of modelling of the welding technology. 17 Ref., 10 Figures.
