    Simufact.welding uses mathematically defined heat sources that have been tested for over 30 years to model melt pools. The heat source concept aims to model the shape and heat flow of the real melt pool surface closely. Simufact supports conventional and laser heat sources. The geometric parameters of conventional heat sources can be estimated from micrographs, and laser heat sources divide energy between a surface and cylindrical source. The goal of heat source calibration is to accurately model the shape and temperature distribution of the real melt pool.

    Info sheet: Heat source

    Simufact.welding uses heat sources that have been


    tested and approved for over 30 years. These heat
    sources are mathematical descriptions of the
    introduced energy distribution inside of the melt pool.
    The aim of the heat source concept is to model the
    isothermal surface of the real melt pool and the heat
    flow through this isothermal surface close to reality.
    Effects of the melt pool flow are considered indirectly.

    1. Conventional

    The geometric parameters of the heat source can be


    taken from a micrograph.

    2. Laser

    1. Conventional: For gas welding, manual arc welding,


    MSG, WSG and UP welding (normally distributed
    double-ellipsoid volume source introduced by
    Goldak, 1984)
    2. Laser: For laser and electron beam welding
    (normally distributed area heat source combined with
    a constant cylindric heat source)

    The corresponding heat source parameters in the
    trajectory dialog. They can be stored in a database for
    later use.

    The width (b) and the depth (d) can be identified from
    a micrograph. All other values can be estimated by
    the following rule:
    Front length af : 0.6 * b
    Rear length ar : 2-2,5 * b

    The stored settings will be shown automatically in the


    listing and can be used in other models.

    1. Definition Conventional

    If a construction plan is the


    basis for a first estimation, then
    the geometrical parameters can
    be estimated using the design
    throat a:
    Depth d = a + 2-5 mm (including a penetration
    depth for an acceptable root)
    Width b = a + 1-2 mm
    Front length af = (a + 1,5 mm)*0.6
    Rear length ar = 2.2*(a + 1,5 mm)

    The width (b) of the heat source model means half the
    width of the real weld pool.

    2. Definition Laser

    The surface depth of the surface heat source defines


    the search depth to detect the surface where the
    energy should be introduced.
    A first pre-check of the heat source can be done in
    the three-dimensional model view.

    The heat source can be visualized by choosing an


    appropriate view in the model window and activating
    the display of edges and transparency:

    For a laser heat source, the energy input is divided


    into a surface and a volumetric heat source. The
    energy fraction for the cylindric heat source
    describes the energy fraction that will be introduced
    through the cylinder, the remaining energy will be
    introduced via the surface heat source.
    The energy fraction of the cylinder is
    typically between 0.7 and 0.9. The bigger
    the cup form of the melt pool, the higher is
    the energy fraction for the heat source
    (energy fraction-cylinder 0.7).

    Use only thermal solution to save time and memory


    for the calibration.

    Info sheet: Heat source


    It is not necessary to simulate the entire weld seam
    for the calibration. The simulation can be stopped as
    soon as the temperature distribution is inappropriate
    or has reached a stationary state.
    The modeled dimensions of the molten zone can be
    visualized by the weld monitor.

    The aim of the heat source calibration is to model the


    isothermal surface of the real melt pool and the heat
    flow through this isothermal surface.
    The weld monitor can display two-dimensional cross
    sections with the dimensions of the weld pool along
    the whole weld path. The position of the cross
    section can be displayed in the three-dimensional
    view. Using a scroll bar the user can check all cross
    sections along the weld path.
    Additionally, a user can compare the dimensions of
    the heat affected zone with the dimensions of the
    isothermal lines of the transformation temperatures
    A1 and A3.
