Abaqus WeldToolkit Overview

It is a collection of abaqus plug-ins for facilitating welding and Additive Manufacturing modeling.

• WeldFlux: to generate heat source subroutine DFLUX in welding modeling.
• AMFlux: Additive Manufacturing modeling.
• WeldGeom: to build weld geometry especially multipass weld geometry.
• AutoRot: to rotate model automaticly in CAE.
• ThermoToMech: to transform a thermal analysis job(.inp) to a mechnical one in sequential thermomechanical calculation.
• Convert units: to convert units used in thermomechanical calculation.

WeldFlux Changelog

This is a lightweight plug-in for abaqus to generate heat source subroutine DFLUX in welding and Additive Manufacturing modeling.

WeldGeom

This plugin is used to create weld geometry especially multipass weld geometry in abaqus. Watch videos tutorial (v1.0) at https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1M84y1g7Jd/

install

Put the folder 'WeldFlux161' to abaqus_plugins directory.
By default, it is located in %HOMEPATH%/abaqus_plugins in windows system.

run

To run it, launch abaqus CAE, click plug-ins WeldFlux161 in manu bar.

features

The following heat source models are supported:

• Planar Gauss
• Double-ellipsoid
• Cone body

Support straight, circular and free welding path(Pro-version).

The subroutine file uses mm-tonne-s units by default.
