DEP MeshWorks - Welding
Rapid welding process allows you to create welds with specific profiles and
Heat Affected Zones (HAZ) to analyze stress and crack propagation 
Reduce up to 60% of the time to create welds in your simulation model.
User-friendly, requiring minimal input and advanced welding capabilities.
Challenges in welding
Typically, modeling for welds is very time consuming and difficult. This process requires a very experienced engineer with a unique skill set for modeling the welds with specific profiles.
Fast CAE modeling
MeshWorks can address different types of solid welding for fabricated structures that can address various modelling scenarios with very minimal inputs. This process can be executed even by an entry level engineer. One big advantage is the welds can also be used for parametric studies.
