Master Local Joining Performance in Body & Chassis Manufacturing
Brochures
This brochure presents how virtual local joining performance simulation enables engineers to accurately predict spot weld quality, weld strength, and failure behavior across a wide range of material types, grades, and thicknesses. By replacing time‑consuming physical testing with multi‑physics simulation, teams can explore unlimited weld parameter combinations, validate nugget formation, assess microstructure and heat‑affected zones, optimize weld‑lobe process windows, and evaluate crash‑relevant strength using virtual coupon tests. The approach reduces try‑out risk, improves scalability, prevents unexpected weld rupture in high‑strength steels, and enhances crash simulation accuracy while supporting lightweight vehicle development.
