Guys,

Do you have recommendations for software which can help in developing weld sequence and predicting weld distortion.

Thanks

There are formulas in AWS Welding Handbook, Volume 1 that calculate "theoretical" angular distortion, transverse shrinkage and other things. I wrote some GWBAsic code many years ago trying to simulate the formulas but gave up based upon my very limited math background. (This was well before Excel, MSDOS and Dual Floppy Drives).

So someone could probably whip up some spreadsheets with all the needed formulas.

Hey Harman,
Take a look at Edison Welding Institute's software:
