E-Weld Predictor can be accessed with a personal computer and an Internet connection. You simply input your welding parameters, joint geometry, and type of material through a user friendly interface. Then, at the click of a button, finite element analysis (FEA) calculations are performed with results viewable in .pdf report format.

Until now, accessing the computer power required to generate such complex calculations has been cost prohibitive for most medium- to small-sized companies. But E-Weld Predictor couples the data processing power of the Ohio Supercomputer Center with EWI's engineering knowledgebase so that more organizations can experiment with simulation research and thereby trim their overall scale-up and design budgets.

E-Weld Predictor's user-defined models/modules interact with commercial, off-the-shelf, finite element analysis (FEA) packages. This novel method of offering FEA welding simulations for simpler joint geometries is currrently geared toward the oil and gas and heavy manufacturing industry sectors.
