Abaqus Technology Brief
Summary
Background
Multi-pass Pipe Welding Analysis
using the Abaqus Welding Interface
Key Abaqus Features and Benefits
The Abaqus Welding Interface extends the capa-bilities of Abaqus/CAE for efficient multi-pass welding simulation
Axisymmetric and three-dimensional weld deposition simulation
Sequentially coupled thermal-stress analysis computes residual stresses and deformations after each weld pass
Automated definition of steps, loads, and boundary conditions for highly efficient model building
SIMULIA capabilities in fracture, damage, fa-tigue, and optimization that provide a broad analysis framework for comprehensive workflow solutions
