2-Pass Welding Simulation in Abaqus: In this project, we used Abaqus with the DFLUX subroutine to simulate2-pass welding, incorporating the birth and death of elements. This is a workshop of a package covering the simulation of multiple welding methods, presented in 3.5 hours of video. All files and videos are available through the provided link.

This is a code I used in following video:

In the project, we modeled welding in Abaqus using VDFLUX subroutine. VDFLUX subroutine is an Abaqus tool, designed for thermal loading in form of body/surface fluxes, as a function of time, coordinates, etc. We have a free blog on our website that delves into the details of DFLUX/VDFLUX subroutines. You can access it through the provided link

This research investigates the application of the Inherent Strain method in Abaqus, an effective numerical strategy for simulating Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) in metal additive manufacturing. For this purpose, we have implemented the DFLUX and USDFLD subroutines using Fortran.
