Why Use Welding Simulation
Today’s manufacturers must balance speed, quality, and cost while working with increasingly complex materials like high-strength steel and aluminum. Traditional trial-and-error testing is too slow and too expensive. Keysight CAE’s Welding (SYSWELD) delivers a proven virtual welding and assembly environment that helps engineers predict distortions, optimize processes, and ensure first-time-right results—accelerating innovation while keeping costs under control.
Key Features
Simulate arc, laser, electron beam, spot welding, and heat treatment processes with one platform.
Manage tolerances, optimize weld sequences, and minimize dimensional deviations in assemblies.
Work confidently with steels, aluminum, lightweight alloys, and dissimilar metals.
Link upstream and downstream manufacturing steps for accurate feasibility and validation.
Predict material strength, hardness, and toughness through carburizing, carbonitriding, and quenching simulations.
Rely on an industry-leading FEA engine that accounts for chemical, thermal, metallurgical, and mechanical effects.
