Welding Simulation Abaqus File (No Subroutine Needed)

This Abaqus laser welding simulation lets you model realistic thermal welding behavior using native Abaqus features — no DFLUX or user subroutines required. The heat input is applied through surface flux over a predefined weld path, giving you a simple yet effective way to study temperature distribution, heat-affected zones, and residual stress formation.

The simulation is originally created in Abaqus 2024 but fully tested and compatible with Abaqus 6.14-2. You’ll receive .cae and .inp files for both versions, allowing direct import or full customization of the model. Whether you’re studying laser welding or adapting the model for arc welding, this is a clean, ready-to-run setup with no plugins, no scripts, and no headaches.

Featured in the YouTube video The Best Welding Simulation in Abaqus (0 Subroutines Needed!), this package is perfect for researchers, students, and engineers looking for a quick-start laser welding model that actually works.
