Hello, 

I want to perform real-time ARC welding simulation.

After that, I need to get the residual stresses due to welding after the specimen is brought down to room temperature. ( The specimen should be cooled down to room temperature by natural convention).

Can anyone please help me with the entire process of getting the residual stresses from ARC/MIG welding of a T-Joint using OPTISTRUCT.

 

Thanks for your support in advance.
