DANSK DS/CEN ISO/TS 18166 PDF

This standard deals with a basic approach to the execution and documentation of a numerical welding simulation aimed at computational representation of the welding process itself and at its impact on the properties of a welded structure. A pertinent generally valid structure is presented that is independent of both the solution method and the concrete software. It offers assistance to the users in choosing the appropriate method depending on the welding process (as specified in EN ISO 4063) to be calculated and on the desired simulation result. It additionally provides a basis for getting familiarized with the numerical welding simulation in various branches of industry and accordingly refers to respective examples in subordinate secondary documents. It can also be employed for preparing requirements specifications or submitting bids and gives both the customers and the tenderers a lead for specifying the scope of supply and service.
