CanWeld Conference 2017

The welding of complex structures so as to minimize adverse effects such as distortion is a difficult task that has historically relied on the past experience of the welding team (welders, supervisors & engineers). When presented with a difference of opinion on how to proceed it is difficult for a project manager to know what to do. Each scenario may have its own pros & cons, with decisions based on who the manager trusts more. In the modern age, computational modeling offers a scientific method to compare different welding scenarios. In this paper, the authors present some real-world examples, where computation models have been used to optimize the welding of complex structures using commercially available software.
