Chapter 30: Welding Toolbox Extension

The Welding Toolbox is a native Mechanical extension that is designed to help manage welding process simulation. This tool eases setup in Mechanical and helps to optimize the weld sequence and process parameters in order to:

  • Assess temperature distribution.

  • Predict distortion and residual stresses.

Note:  As needed, see the Activate Beta Options section to make the feature available.

The following sections describe how to use the Welding Toolbox:
