“…Numerical simulation is one of the modern tools for predicting welding stresses and distortion. The technical literature reports studies on the use of various programs, such as SYSWELD [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ], ANSYS [ 16 , 17 , 18 ], ABAQUS [ 19 , 20 ], or AUTODESK CFD [ 21 ], for modelling welding stress and distortion distributions.…”
