Heat Source Fitting for a T-joint with TDeposit of Material
An example of application of the HSF tool for predefined type of weld joint geometry
Mesh – model description
Temperature contours – ature contours – cross section
Molten zone
Heat affected zone
For creation of 2D mesh of the joint cross-section the predefined T-joint profile with deposit of material is used – SIL routine Tjoint_filler_prf.cmd, parameter file Tjoint_filler_prf.PAR The 3D model is straight, created by translational extrusion
