Arc Welding Analysis in Abaqus
A practical course covering 8 Abaqus welding tutorials focused on heat source modeling, moving heat flux, welding paths, and thermal analysis.
Learn Arc Welding Analysis Through Practical Abaqus Examples
This course provides a practical approach to modeling and analyzing arc welding processes in Abaqus. It is designed for students, researchers, and engineers who want to understand how welding processes can be represented through finite element simulation and how thermal behavior can be investigated using Abaqus.
Throughout the course, you will work through 8 practical welding tutorials covering different arc welding configurations and simulation techniques. The tutorials introduce the main steps required to create the model, define material properties, apply thermal loading, develop suitable welding paths, and perform the numerical analysis in Abaqus.
A key part of the course is learning how to represent a moving welding heat source in Abaqus. You will work with techniques such as the DFLUX subroutine and heat source definitions to simulate the movement of heat during the welding process.
The course also introduces different welding conditions and modeling approaches, including different welding paths, single-pass and multi-pass welding, and other practical arc welding configurations. These examples help you understand how changes in the welding process can affect the temperature distribution and numerical response of the model.
The course also covers the main heat transfer mechanisms in arc welding, including conduction, convection, and radiation, as well as the cooling process after welding. You will also learn how to extract and plot temperature–stress curves and residual stresses to evaluate the thermal and mechanical response of the welded structure.
One tutorial is based on a published research paper and is validated against the reference study. The numerical results obtained from Abaqus are compared with the corresponding research results to demonstrate how a welding simulation can be evaluated against published experimental or numerical data.
The remaining tutorials are practical welding examples designed to help you develop your understanding of arc welding simulation in Abaqus. These examples focus on learning different modeling techniques and are not presented as research validation studies.
By completing this course, you will gain practical experience in modeling arc welding processes in Abaqus, working with moving heat sources and DFLUX, setting up different welding configurations, and analyzing the resulting thermal response.

Hello Mr, Moeini
I will work on a projct about WEDM (wire electric discharge machining) . But I dont Know if this package , that is about Arc welding Process , can be helpful for me or not! if you have any Info about EDM process please tell me , can i use Deflux or Goldak’s subroutines to simulate my work or not
if this package works for simulation of EDM I will surely buy it.
Thank you and have good day
