Emphasis on Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) Modeling Around MIG Welded Joints in Crash CAE Virtual Predictive Full Vehicle Models

Current challenges in the auto industry are compelling virtual simulations to predict strength and rupture of MIG welded joints. Rupture prediction of such joints enhances the design and development process. In body-on-frame vehicles most metal parts are joined using MIG welds and strength evaluation of such joints are crucial to vehicle crash and safety performance. Virtual simulation capabilities with these predictions help in enormous ways to reduce cost and time involved in proto-type testing of vehicles in the product development cycles.
