This is the most complete Abaqus welding tutorial available on YouTube — a full-length masterclass that takes you from beginner to advanced welding simulation techniques using Abaqus. We start with a simple moving heat source (no subroutines), then simulate weld buildup using element reactivation. Next, we apply an analytical field equation to model heat input without writing code. From there, we dive into advanced simulations using the Gaussian DFLUX subroutine and then the Goldak double ellipsoid model for arc welding. Finally, we show how to predict residual stress after welding using actual temperature results. Whether you’re just starting or refining your workflow, this is the only Abaqus welding tutorial you’ll need. 🎥 Chapters Included: • Moving Heat Source Simulation • Element reactivation for weld buildup • Analytical field heat input • Gaussian DFLUX welding (laser simulation) • Goldak DFLUX welding (arc welding) • Residual stress prediction in Abaqus
