The graphical interface of the program is very intuitive. It is enough fast and straightforward another advantage of this program is the simplified representation of the material - this is possible because the analysis bases only on the shrinkage techniques. The program has been in use for modeling welding deformations worldwide and was proven effective and reliable. It is free very easy to pick up so just download it and play. Based on AutoCAD, ShipConstructor is the leading software product for ship design and ship building, adopted worldwide. As a result, this would help to solve a very complex model maintaining the acceptable accuracy level and providing insightful and timely outcome to the customers. Rhino is pretty close to ShipConstructor as a check. The intention of the developers was to create a program that could be used by the design and construction professionals for evaluation of the welding distortion of large welded assemblies and provide necessary recommendations for the clamping positions and sequence of welding that would minimize the distortion. Among the welding types that can be modeled using Weld Planner there are contact welding, fillet welding, butt welding, arc welding, manual and semi-automatic welding and even laser welding. The application of this program will help to reduce the number of test pieces, find the optimal conditions of fastening and the best arrangement of the weld seams.
