Welded joints are indispensable in mechanical and plant engineering - and at the same time particularly relevant to safety. Their design determines whether a Design can withstand the high loads during operation or whether critical weak points occur.

In practice, it has been shown time and time again that manual calculations are error-prone and time-consuming. Those who rely on digital support here benefit from greater transparency and reliability - without unnecessarily complicating the design process.

Five key advantages of digital weld seam calculation

A fictitious practical example illustrates how companies can benefit if they systematically calculate their weld seams:

• Full control and safety: digitally supported processes significantly reduce the risk of calculation errors - both for designers and for subsequent operation.

• Speed and efficiency: Instead of time-consuming manual calculations, results can be achieved in the shortest possible time. This saves time and reduces sources of error.

• Optimized dimensioning: Oversized weld seams are a thing of the past. Precise calculation means that material and resources are used in a targeted manner.

• Current standards automatically integrated: Whether DVS, FKM or Eurocode 3 - a software-supported calculation ensures that work is always carried out according to the current state of the art.

• Traceable documentation: Seamless evidence creates transparency with regard to internal quality processes and external requirements.
